JillGat has generously agreed to co-moderate General Questions on an interim basis. She’ll be filling in for manhattan, who’s taking some time off. Manhattan will still be around but plans to focus on Staff Reports. He’s been a mod for a long time and we thought it best to get him out of there before he started to drool.
Welcome back to moderating JillGat! And good luck to you, manhattan. We hope to see you back soon.

I hope the Staff Report threads aren’t as drug-related as the GQ ones are, manny old bean. I’d hate to see you carted away in a soft straitjacket to a lifetime of weaving baskets with your toes. 
Oh, and JillGat, as the old veteran says to the green recruit “You’ll be sooo-reee!”
manhattan is taking a vacation?
Cheers!
If you’re ever in Minneapolis, manny, I’ll gladly buy you a martini- stirred, not shaken.

Hey, IYam a vet here, Derl - just not in this forum. Why, you gonna make me sorry? You think you’re the boss of me??
::channelling manny::
Umm, where’s the General Question here? 
Congrats Jill!
Well, jill, uh…congratulations, I guess. Hey, it coulda been worse - they could have had you moderate in GD.
And I agree, montfort: doesn’t this kind of thing really belong in MPSIMS? Maybe you should move it there, jill. Oh, and be sure and come up with something pithy to say when you do.
Not that I’m anybody you need to listen to.
Shoot. Now I gotta do “pithy.”
So, Jill, I guess you finished curing all the diseases. As I recall, you stopped moderating CCC because the Dope was taking too much of your time away from epidi…epedeem…edipemiol… from studying sickness.
Glad to have you back, temporarily or otherwise.
Ah, enlightenment … that’s why you were suddenly inclined to empty the in-tray.

And so as not to displease your graciousness, I promise that I won’t post about why hippos spin their tails during your tenure in GQ.

Welcome, Jill!
Quick – now that manhattan is gone, some start an “All your base” thread.
And someone proofread my posts.
I think Jill is really having to try too hard to avoid writing up reports on marijuana-smoking cockroaches and pink flamingos.
Someone creates a new …3rd word ending in “gry” thread. What do you do?
a) Close the thread.
b) Scold the member.
c) All of the above.
d) Run screaming into the hills.
Congrats!
I had a feeling all those bong threads would send Manhattan around the twist.
Congratulations and happy moddin’ Jill.
Come back soon Manhattan. You are, as we say in Australia, not such a bad bastard.
Is he eloping to start a new life with G.Nome ?
Thank you, many, for sticking with this near thankless task. Mods (and Admins) make, by far, the greatest contribution of all to the success and enjoyment of the Board. From what I could see, you have worked very, very hard at holding the line and have done so with wit wisdom, dedication and not a little panache.
I raise a cyber schooner and offer a (hope it’s not final) take-it-through-life-and-live-by-it toast: ‘Boring, Boring Arsenal’. Be well and cheers !
JillGat – Thanks for taking over the reins and the best of luck !
Note to self: be pithy and have panache…
Panache. Isn’t that a sort of fudge? I thought it was Lynn we were supposed to send panache to. Well, hell, if Jill wants panache, I’ll try to scout some up for her.
Welcome back, Jill, great to see you around again. Feel better, manny, we’ll miss you, they say herbal tea and Yoga works wonders.
Ed: Yeah, what Montfort said. Isn’t this more of an ATMB post?
Saltire: epidemiology
Jill: Congrats, again. You can do it, I know. You’ve got the pith, you’ve got the panache, you’ve got the power…
Epidroolomotomy: Amer.Slang. The hip study of why some people salivate so much that their brains have to be removed.
ISN’T THIS what Jill does? Omg. 
Jill, congratulations. You’ve always been an incisive and genteel contributor around here. We’ll do everything we can to make your stay here a pleasant one. ( wiping nose off with hankie ).
Do you prefer Godiva or Sees of San Fran?
Manny, I read your thread about the car incident with absolute horror. You have my 110% empathies. Herbal remedies, yes yes yes ! Heal both body and soul, and return to us poste haste ( or, as they might say around the 'Ole CDC, " Puss’d Haste" ).
In honor, we’ll be opening bottle of Chateau Neuf De Pape, the '77 I think might be appropriate tonight. Cheers, Jill !!
