\<off topic\>Not exactly a successful mod, are you?

I don’t have a clue why A-they chose you and B-more importantly, why they allow you to keep your position. As a mod you are truly a detriment to this board \</off topic\>

Revenge away. Because you can.

If it wasn’t for a _Mother Drucker_, we wouldn’t have had [Sam Drucker](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Drucker) in _Petticoat Junction_ and _Green Acres_ (2 places Bob Marley never performed in).

Nor would we have [Mort Drucker](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mort_Drucker), infamous MAD Magazing artist and satirist.

😃

Also, it’s spelled “troll”, not “trole”.

To quote our Perfect Master, " Girls don’t get intimate with boys who’re illiterate."

Thank you. I expected an even more virulent reaction from your team wagon.

That said, I take nothing back but will do my best to abide to your amazing - and sometimes, quite amusing – arbitrary “rules.”

The Dude.
