The moderation on these boards is one of the things that’s kept me around all these years! (If you don’t think that’s a _good_ thing, please be kind enough to keep it to yourself! 😉 )

Thanks for all you have done, **Czarcasm**!

I volunteer, but only if I can do it while I’m drunk… er… I mean _ **heavily medicated** _! For my condition, you know. Er… um… you know, THAT condition… [I think the doctor said something about yourectile disfunction, but I could be wrong!]

**Czarcasm** , it has been a joy working with you as a moderator, and your assistance and cool head have always been appreciated. You were a great help to me when I was ramping up as a mod, and I look forward to the day you decide you want to come back.

In the meantime, I’m eagerly anticipating the first time you screw up and I get to warn you 😃

You’ve earned a well-deserved rest, Czarcasm, and I hope that we’ll see you more around the boards as a regular poster.

Glad you’re stick around as a poster. As far as I can recall, you were a good mod, so sorry to lose you there.

(sing to the tune of _When You’re a Jet_ from West Side Story):

When you’re a mod  
You’re a mod all the way  
From your first banning rod  
To your last dying day

When you’re a mod  
You give warnings galore  
Which the fanboys applaud  
And the bad boys ignore

You’re never alone,  
'less you get disconnected!  
In ATMB:  
They’ll flay you without pity  
It isn’t pretty!

When you’re a mod  
With a capital M  
They will call you “nimrod”  
Every time you “ahem.”  
When you’re a mod  
You … stay … a … MOD!

Good for you. Maybe now you’ll be able to actually post something without all the bitching about if you said it as a mod or a poster.

That crap must have just about drove your ass crazy.

Don’t get your hopes up, Beloved. This just frees up enough time to get hooked on those online roll-playing games I’ve heard about.

Don’t do it. I tried that when I stepped down and, well… let’s just say me dressing up as a muffin or a honey bun just wasn’t pretty.
