Please join me in welcoming our newest SDMB moderator, xash, who will help mind the shop in General Questions. xash got the job for the following reasons: 1. He knows a lot about computers, so now we can bug somebody besides Jerry. 2. He has a droll sense of humor, which God knows he’ll need on this job. 3. He’s from Bombay, India (now officially Mumbai, India). Is that cool or what? Glad to have you aboard, xash. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. ---
