**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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. [assumes self protective, grovelling pose] 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.

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! ---

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 ! ---

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. ---

**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 !!
