[QUOTE=Anaamika] Look who’s talking. Wasn’t your first Pitting an anti-Pitting, saying what a great moderator you are? As I recall, all the other mods made fun of you then. [/QUOTE] cite? ---

I can’t run a search at work, WhyNot. For some reason I can’t press the search button! And I have no DSL at home for the moment. Basically, it was when Giraffe first became a Pit mod and was slamming down threads left and right if they didn’t have enough vitriol. (Also the time I became afraid to post threads in the Pit. Coincidence?) Anyway, people loved it and started saying what a great mod he was. ---
