**Dex** and **Marley** too? Ye gods, the mods are falling like ninepins. To spend more time with my family, to spend more time with my book, you guys are sounding like politicians. 🙂 Good fortune to both of you, you’ve been memorable moderators. ---

Can the next new mod be named Marley’s Ghost? Also if the role is not filled already can be Cecil’s appendix? ---

Cecil’s new right hand should be called **The Fist O’ Doom** , or maybe **The Hook** ---

Like that old song “After all is said and done/There is really only one.” This is true not only for Margie but also for our moderators. We appreciate that they are part of a team but also amazing and unique beings in their own right. In another example, we all give passes but there was only one Fucking Hall Monitor. 🙂 You got to respect that. ---
