This might not be the best time to confess that I have always misread puzzlegal’s name as “putz legal” - I thought it was a self-deprecating reference to being an attorney. Nothing like the announcement of mod status to make me read the user names correctly.
Seriously, congratulations (or condolences, you decide) to all of you, and thank you for being willing to keep the SDMB going.
Not necessarily. Even if you hew to the idea that somebody choosing to use a lower case name shouldn’t be capitalised in general speech, each of those were at a natural capitilisation point, even if usernames don’t get treated like proper nouns.
I am endlessly grateful to all those who donate their time so generously so that we can have a place to talk about stuff. And I hope they all remember that for the next time I behave badly. I swear I didn’t mean it, and I’m really really sorry.
May your days be pleasant, and your trolls remain under the bridge where they belong!
Thanks for the job you’ve just accepted, and pay no attention to the way the red ink on the contract smoked briefly when exposed to the sun. I’m told that’s totally normal.
