Ah, come on, you make it sound so unrewarding! This gig ainā€™t so bad. For one thing, moderating is completely free. Compare that to the cost of having someone to drip hot wax on your genitals and you see what a money saver it is in the long run. ---

Whatever **Giraffe** pays, itā€™d be too exorbitant for you, **rayh.** They have to actually find your balls before they apply the wax. ---

I didnā€™t read the thread in question (any of it - still donā€™t know what itā€™s about as a matter of fact) but just wanted to say I admire your courage, **rayh** , in starting this thread. Either that, or youā€™re a masochist. ---
