> [@John\_Mace](#): > > And that’s the Father, Son and Holy Ghost right there! :D:D:D:D:D Brilliant timing. And there’s some irony there, with a former moderator and 50k post count holder being modded by a newbie moderator over, in my view, a trivial remark. I do get the preservation attempt to encourage new posters however. We need some new blood around here. ---
