You guys are letting Coldfire be a moderator? Have you no standards? Oh, dear God, the horrors this will lead to. You’ve given Clog-Boy power. Who knows where it will end? I am truly in fear. Nah, not really. Congratulations, I trust you’ll do a great job, even if it will probably cut into your posting rate. ---

All I can say is “About Effin’ Time”. I suppose Clog’ems just got lost in all the paperwork at SDMB HQ. Does this mean I’m not allowed to make fun of him now? Or does this mean I have to make fun of him more? 😃 ---

Try me, Spoofe 😉 Thanks for the kind words, waterj2. I’ll try to live up to the high expectations of the Teeming Millions! Judging by the amount of e-mail I received already, I’d say HELL YES, my post count will be affected. But it’s not like I was gonna catch handy anyday soon, so who cares 😃 ---

Congratulations! You have your work cut out for you. ( 😕 That seems like a wrong phrase somehow, since it’s you who will be doing the cutting. And thread moving, etc.) As the thread count rises every month I guess we need more and more moderators. Maybe the chartists out there can extrapolate to when the site reaches critical mass and busts its seams? :eek: ---

Congrat’s Coldfire! David B. used to have more posts than I but as you can see, I left him in the dust. I was a moderator for a long time on a local BBS & its not the thing I’d like to do. Why they couldn’t payme enough 🙂 ---

Coldfire, your editing skills as shown today make me proud to have a Dutch surname, and to hail from Holland, Michigan. Keep up the good work! ---

Thanks - it was nothing, really. Just target practice 😉 But it’s good to know our work is appreciated. And I’m not suddenly using the _Pluralis Majestatis_ here, I was referring to ALL moderators and administrators. I’ve learned that there is a LOT more to the moderator job than meets the eye. But I’m not complaining - it’s fun to do as well. ---

Goddag, Koldskyde! (am I close?) I’ve been trying to learn a little bit of your language through a friend in Den Hague. Good luck with the moderating thing. ---

Goedemorgen Koudvoor, mijn vriend! De uur was te vroeg. I spoke to you in Danish.
