It’s been one bizarre week and you have all been busy. Thanks. 🙂 \*I know this is hardly a pit but it does come under the category of > [@](#): > > _[size=2]other discussion regarding administration of the SDMB._ Anyhow, it can’t hurt for even pitsters to be appreciative.\*[/size] ---

Agreed. Hopefully this one “we love you guys” thread will balance the half-dozen “you all suck as individuals” ones. I’m going to buy YOU a pizza! ---

I’ll throw in my Thanks to the mods also.

And from this corner of Dopedom, a heaping plateful of peanut butter cookies, fresh from the oven. The sour-cream brownies are almost cool enough to slice. I know how maddening it is to herd a mere eight cats; I stand in awe of those who herd eight thousand. ---

Seeing as I have had to go without ramen noodles and mouldy cheese for a month so’s I can afford to pay the new subscription fee, can I just bring my ex-budgie on a kebab for the bbq **Rick**? (I couldn’t afford bird-seed either, so he died.) Youse Mods have shown much class and restraint with the plethora of whinges. Well done. [insert a CHEERS smilie here]. ---

I’ll bring the gumbo. Can’t have a party without gumbo. And jambalaya. The amount of whining over $5 a year has truly astonished me. Kudos to those who have to put up with it. Me, I can just bypass the threads. Not that I _do_, mind you, but I _can_ if I want to. ---

Chimay Ale, please. Blue label. The magnum. 😃 ---

At my local bottle-o, even a _stubbie_ (385ml) of the Chimay Blue is AUD $8.00. Imagine what a magnum would work out at. I’ll shout you a pot of Vic Bitter though. 😃 ---

Not Warren!! :eek: And yes, a big thanks to the mods for keeping their cool during what must have been a very trying week. Oh, and well done all Dopers who did the same - this could have spiraled into babbling hysteria, but it was pretty well contained. ---

[QUOTE=manx] Not Warren!! :eek: QUOTE] Warren’s fine. I gave him mouth-to-beak resucitation when I realized that a Budgie-Doner-Kebab was going to be a very mingy meal indeed. He’s had a reprieve this time. 😛 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thanks-to-the-mods-and-admin-not-a-rant/235693.md?page=2)
