There’s a tiny link there on the top of the page that leads to a “SDMB job announcement.” We need more moderators! Since some of the sharpest contributors frequent this forum, I just wanted to put it in here in case you missed it.

What is “the page”? I have bounced around various TSD pages and I don’t see any such link. Why not just post the URL that the link points to?

Never mind, I see it, it’s on the Topics list for “Comments about Cecil’s Columns” and the URL it points to is [here](http://www.straightdope.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getannounce&ForumNumber=1&Start=2451180.99&End=2451545&Session=2451495.094).

Well, I tried to post the link, but it was too long and screwed up the wrapping of the lines, so I deleted it. Hate to burst any bubbles about my brilliance, but I’m too lazy to figure out how to make a shorter link, like CkDexthavn did on his board.

Oops. I forgot the closing " after HTML Notice how little difference there is between smooth and impressive knowlegeability, and lame ass attempts at showing off new knowlege?
