After years of faithful service Frank has come to his senses and retired as a Straight Dope moderator.
We thank Frank for his time and energy expended tending Cecil’s virtual vineyard. Hope he’s enjoyed his time with us and more than that, truly enjoys his time as a just another member of the Teeming Millions.

As Frank once said, “Being a jackbooted thug just ain’t what it used to be”. We just aren’t badass enough for you anymore, eh?
Thanks for all the thuggery, and good luck with all that is to come.

I knew I shouldn’t have agreed with you. Hope you recover quickly.
Now I could tell you that I’ve always liked you without sounding like I’m sucking up.
Well I could …
Thanks for a job well done!
Hey, maybe you could, you know, send us a cake from The Outside.
You know, with a file baked in it.

Aw man, I’ll certainly miss things being perfectly Frank. More thanks for a trying job done very well.
Lies. All lies.
Thanks Frank~
Thanks for the good work Frank.
Jim (Damn, now I need to figure out another Mod I can tease.)
Damn. You were a good one.
Wait, they let you out? Without any limbs being… removed?
We needs must sacrifice a prawn in his honor.
…what? Bulls are expensive !
Thanks, Frank .
So what you are saying is if it made sense to Frank, it was OK? Sort of a Frank-n-sense, perhaps? Hmm, that doesn’t quite pass the smell test.
Frank, does this mean you have to go to a halfway house for a spell, before being allowed on your own back into the general population?
Do you have to send back the mug?
Thanks for all your work Frank !
I’m hoping he’ll at least wash the Underoos before he passes them on to his successor.
Thanks for all your hard work, Frank !
Thanks for your good work, Frank . You weren’t one of the ones who pissed me off.
You’re allowed to retire? Now who will we kick around?
Thanks for all the hard work. I hope you really do enjoy going back to regular Doperhood, although I’m sure it’ll be a difficult transition, not having people accuse you of abusing your power in every other thread.
Good job, Frank . We’ve butted heads a few times in those years but you’ve always done a really outstanding job, I think. Peace be with you…
And so this year’s model gets retired. I wonder what Next Year’s Model will be like?
How does that song by Queen go? dum dum dum something something dust
Welcome to the board as a simple member like the rest of us!
They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie. Thanks, Frank .
