I say get off your ass, Ed, and send the mods the coffee cup they deserve. You hear me ED? Show some love from the top down, they don’t get much from the masses around here. Cheap ass board would probably send them COD anyway. ---

So then, I can’t point it out if I think _Idle Thoughts_ looks funny? :dubious: ---

You can say Idle Thoughts _the poster_ is funny lookin’, but you can’t say that only a funny looking mod like Idle Thoughts would have made that mod decision. (Idle’s going to kill me, isn’t he? 😉 ) ---

How about if, out of the kindness of my heart, I were to offer a Mod the services, for free, of a distant relative who is licensed by the State to marry said Mod’s parents? ---
