Bugger. Let’s try that again . . .
As I sit down (after several glasses) to use the wonders of modern communications to litter my now-sloppy Christmas greetings to all corners of the globe, I certainly don’t want to forget our tireless mods and admins.
Merry Christmas!
God willing, none of you will see this until the 26th or 27th!
Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor the advent of pagan solstice rituals shall stop the Moderators from their pointy rounds.
Thanks for the greeting, and it’s reciprocated.
Merry Christmas from me to the Mods, Admins and everyone else. starts passings shots of Wild Turkey bourbon to all present in this thread
And to you as well.
Every single time I read these boards, which is pretty much daily except on my days off, I think to myself, “Man, I’m glad I’m not a moderator.”
The mods spend, or rather donate, amazing amounts of time and mental energy to keeping these boards running smoothly, and I appreciate it.
Thanks, mods and admins! Here’s wishing you a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a righteous Ramadan, and a Kwaaazy Kwanzaa! And also a new year that sees all your dreams fulfilled. (Except that filthy one about Martha Stewart. Don’t make me get specific.)
This goes out especially to Coldfire, who has promptly and helpfully answered the few e-mails I’ve had occasion to send him.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to all!
I’ll get to see the new year before most of you… I’ll let you know how it is… 
Happy New Year to you Xash. I’ll be in India for New Year too, but won’t see Mumbai 'til around the 5th. I’m having an uneventful Christmas somewhere off the coast of Andher Pradesh.
