Welcome to the nuthouse, MEBuckner. Don’t mind Arnold. He’s Swiss. All that neutrality isn’t good for a man, obviously. ---

Oh, Buckner’s been with us since our AOL days, way back when. He just didn’t register here til 2000. I’m glad to have him as a mod. ---

That neutrality is very good for me, thank you very much. And the butt-slapping is just my natural high spirits. Heck, up in the mountains, with only the cows for company during those long winter months, we engage in quite a bit of bovine butt-slapping. It relieves the tension. John Corrado, I was raised to elegantly kiss a woman’s hand, not slap her on the butt. We must have gone to different schools. ---

Congrats! [sub]And did I miss something? I thought **Ike** was a mod before **bibliophage**? Gotta pay more attention…damn school, keeping me away from the boards…🙂 Seriously, though, there always seems to be someone new, and I always miss it. And it took someone mentioning an old thread with **Chronos** as a mod to proove to me that I wasn’t insane and I hadn’t imagined the whole thing.[/sub] ---
