I’m glad to see you’re keeping your “Chicken of Bristol” title. Otherwise, you’d just be “Illudium Q-36 Space.” 🙂 Thanks for your help. Good to know you’re sticking around. ---

Thanks for all your modding, **Czarcasm** – you put in one of the longer modding stints in board history, I believe, and have been pretty integral in making the board what it is today. Now you can sit back and let other people do the work. (It’s pretty sweet, I recommend it, in fact.) ---

I almost got really sad and wistful at you leaving, but I see you’re still sticking around. Thank goodness, as I always liked you in Moderation and in excess at times as well. You were a model Mod for me. _hug_ You did good, **Czar** , you did good. ---

A scene from \*\*Patton \*\*comes to mind: _Translator: The general would like to know if you will drink a toast with him. Patton: Thank the general and tell him I have no desire to drink with him or any other Russian son of a bitch. Translator: [Nervous] I can’t tell him that! Patton: Tell him, every word. Translator: [In Russian] He says he will not drink with you or any Russian son of a bitch. Russian general: [In Russian] Tell him he is a son of a bitch, too. Now! Translator: [Very nervous] He says he thinks you are a son of a bitch, too. Patton: [laughing] All right. All right, tell him I’ll drink to that; one son of a bitch to another._ Cheers, **Czarcasm**. One to another. Oak Nobody get excited. That’s actually a compliment. ---
