Jill You were the first moderator here that I ever encountered, in fact, in the first thread I ever opened. (Remember when you changed my “Gay Porn Problem” title to “Problem with Pronouns”?) You’re a class act. Thanks for your service to the community. God go with you. ---

Quoth the guest of honor: > [@](#): > > The only reason they let me out of the contract was because I insisted that you would come back and replace me. So, does that mean that you’ll write my thesis for me? Ma’am, you’ve got yourself a deal!

Almost? I guess it’s a good thing it’s not a math thesis you’re going to be writing. ---

ohferchrissakes! Now Jill’s bleeding all over the place. Biblio, I thought you needed a permit for that sharp tongue of yours! 😃 Jill, before you go to the Great Real Life in the Sky, just wanted to say, “Job Well Done”. May you return post-haste to this virtual world of sarcasm and smart-assy-ness! ---

Jill rocks, in person as much as on the boards. Good luck, and when you do buy a bike: shiny side up, m’dear. 🙂 ---

I bet she just got tired of banning us one by one. Now she won’t have to deal with any of us. Maybe I should start a BBQ thread “Why was the entire SDMB banned from Jill’s life?” ---

Jill no longer works for us in any capacity, so those of y’all that have been bugging her please stop IMing her and sending her email, she can’t do anything to help you. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

Aw. They weren’t “bugging” me. It’s just that I don’t like to access the board while at work and don’t have time to respond to SDMB concerns with lightning speed like I used to. And with my high standards for human service, this put me in a real dilemma! Anyway, I’m still here and posting, but no longer a moderator. Doesn’t mean you don’t have to still be polite, respectful and kiss my ass, though. ---

[[If you have a problem with Jill (who does not work here anymore, probably at least in part because of this kind of abuse), you are hereby invited to take it elsewhere.]] Just to clarify, I don’t feel abused here. Okay, so I roll my eyes at comments like that from The Ryan, but that’s not why I’m not moderating anymore. I just don’t have the time I used to have to perform moderator tasks like fix posts, etc. I can’t do it at work and I run early in the morning, so don’t stay up as late as I used to to mop up aisles here. I enjoyed my stint as board ranger, thank you all for the flowers and cards, and I’m still here but just as another wimpy poster. Jill And you can still email me. ---
