One of the other great perks is that, from time to time, Cecil calls upon us to be self-sacrificing: If you flex your muscle when a mosquito bites you, will it swell up and explode?
Hmph. Notice you don’t come across as particularly interested in fighting ignorance there.
Sheeesh. Can I help it is mosquitos don’t find me appetizing?
I think Jerry did lock a thread devoted to identifying technical problems once, shortly after an earlier upgrade, after fixing those problems and with a thankyou post to the participating members. But yeah, he doesn’t act as a moderator or the variety of admin. who interacts with members a whole lot.
I seem to recall closing a thread (Good Recipe) three days ago.
Don’t you dare. You have until 5 to tell me where you were this morning.
Uh… at the dentist… Dr. Frentist…
In that case, try some peanut M&Ms.
Hookers and blow ???
Wow. Time was folks would be happy with either or. Not so any more, eh?
It’s a bit like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for grown-ups.
" You got blow all over my hooker !
Yeah? Well you let a hooker mess up my blow ! "

Coffee mugs? Nah. It would be more appropriate to give them beer mugs.

Mmmmm. Beer.
Mmmmm. Beer!
I like your thinking, son, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
So, what does it take to be a member of the SDSAB? How does a mere poster (like MsRobyn) get selected to answer a question from the mailbag/e-mail?

I volunteered. Dex sent some questions, I answered them. When I hit the magic number, I was chosen for the SDSAB. There’s really no mystery to that part of it.

Get in touch with Dex.
Yep, we’re always glad to hear from potential SDSAB members. Send me an email: ckdexthavn@aol.com and indicate areas of particular expertise or interest, and we’ll go from there.
Please be sure that the subject line in the email is something clear – Even if these are your areas of expertise, I tend to delete emails with subjects like “You may have won…” or “Nubile young teens…” without reading.
“Nubile old women …” gets a different treatment? :dubious:
and there goes MY area of expertise… that and drinking
Research in social psychology, initially done by Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) (link), has shown that people who are paid less for a crummy job will report enjoying it more. Further research has backed this up - you report getting more out of volunteering than you get from a meagre paycheck.
