- Thanks, aha! Um, by “knowing what to do about the personal welcome”–that means you’re buying the Champagne? Ahhhh yer a tough one girl. But you know that **mrs aha** is gonna be awful upset without a welcome to the board from you, champagne or no. ---

I was wondering how long it would take for aha to suck up to you, now that it’s happened I guess you are officially a moderator. Oh yeah aha I think Cecil and Ed are gonna be royally pissed when they see they are no longer in your sig. Keith ---

Chopped liver here. 🙂 Really, I am _damned_ glad to be a co-moderator with TVeblen. I think she’ll find the IMHo’ers an excellent group of posters, as I have over the past year or so. I wouldn’t take any other forum if it was offered to me on a silver platter. ---

Another mod? Jeez, it’s gettin’ so you can’t sneeze around here without hitting a mod. Congrats, **Veb**. (I’ll save the condolences for later, after we drive you crazy.) ---

- Thanks, **geobabe**! Now all I have to do is not mess up…and piffle a greeting to aha, of course. - **Slythe** , no way, shape or form are you chopped liver! Or even Spam. And I’m not just saying that because it dawned on me that I _volunteered_ for this insanity–and you just happen to be the stalwart Rock upon which IMHO stands. Carry on; I’m still taking notes. - Oh, good; oh, thanks; I don’t get sneezed and spit on enough in real (corporeal?) life, **MysterEcks**. And what makes you think you weren’t _already_ driving me crazy?? - ::grins and high-fives **Diane** :: Who’d a thunk it? - “Veb Mistress”, **dropzone**? In your dreams…though being good “at it” may be in your dreams, too. I’ll sure try! Ahh, _youse guys_, Veb ---

Hey **Veb** congrats! You have always been one of my favorite posters here and words can’t convey my happiness for you at this moment. I can’t think of anyone on this board that deserves it more …(advice, Welcome aha now and save a thread 🙂 ) ( PS. I’m still wondering what I did to make you think it would be such masochism to meet me in person. Maybe now that you’re a mod, you’ll tell me.) Anyway, all the best to you, enjoy! ---

Darn, should’ve read the whole thread, I usually do …but it’s late and I’m sleepy. Hey aha, how ya doin’ bud, happy Thanksgivin’. Goin’ to bed now, carry on. ---

My foggy memory recalls that the thread was about “curses or reverse wishes” or something. You’re Va_Hermit_, so what could be worse than a gaggle of people descending on a hermit and clamoring for attention? Sorry, didn’t intend for my bit of lame kidding/inanity to worry you. It wasn’t us meeting you; it was _you_ being innudated with us! Sigh. This is how most of my “clever” jokes work. (Envision the pratfall of your choice.) Veb ---

Dear Veb~ Sorry to come so late to the party, but I did want to tell you congratulations on your new position! You have always been one of the posters who impressed me the most with your balance of humor, intelligence, wit and just plain old “horse sense.” I admire you very much, and am glad to see that so many others share my feeling.
