When did Arnold Winkelreid become a mod? It’s kosher with me, BTW (not that anyone bothered to ask) I’ve always found his posts to be quite good. ---

TubaDiva officially announced the beginning of my probationary Moderator status on 05-22-2000 at 01:45 PM (Straight Dope time zone). see [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=24643) and also [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=25246). Thank you mouthbreather. I would have preferred that you had found my posts to be sub-par, it would have been easier to improve them to fit the new moderator title. 😉 ---

or, it could be that I didn’t fully read Tuba’s thread before posting this. D’oh.
