I know it is a reg poster, I just forget who. And I knew that IMHO needed another mod. Congradulations!

What about your _other_ mistake?  
Poor ol’ slythe is gone, and you don’t even notice I’m gone, let alone ask what happened to such a fine Moderator? 😉

Why did you change your name? It was so … reptilian! 😃 Now you’ll have the Bolsheviks in here after your head. Hint: Never trust a guy you can’t kill with only ten times the lethal dose of cyanide.

To the moderator formerly known as slythe: I certainly missed you! As soon as I noted the change at the top of the IMHO board I immediately began a search to find out what the hell happened to you. slythe, that it. Loved your previous name. Very catchy and oh so noticeable. Sure you had your reasons, and FTR, I dig the new name as well! BTW, for some reason the moniker “slythe” made me think you were female?

Mustn’t speak ill of the Gone.

Such a sad case, losing **Sylthe** that way. ☹ I’d barely learned to spell his name, and now he’s no longer with us.

Worse, **Czarcasm** isn’t in my dictionary. (Well, I guess slythe wasn’t exactly there either, just “slyther” as an old spelling of slither.)

The Slithe is dead! Long live the Czar!
