Just wanted to thank the pit mods for moving the non pit threads out of the pit, rather than just closing them. ---

Glad to oblige, **Biffy** , though in all honesty I must admit it really helps that the board has been fast lately. If it’s really slow, moving a thread can take forever and a day. Closing 'em doesn’t take nearly as long. As long as Jerry keeps feeding the hamsters that new meth-coated kibble we should be good to go. The new kid–tall, prehensile tongue–is great at pouncing on them quickly. He works a different schedule, too, so we’re getting at more while they’re still moveable. ---

Think of it this way. There are worse people than Bippy the Beardless to be mistaken for. In fact, he makes me laugh.
