The question why our server runs so poorly is also related to that night. I swear, Dutch computers run _faster_ after spraying them with champagne, F1 style.

_To begin to rectify this terrible situation, I’d like to nominate myself, Scylla, SuaSponte, and zev\_steinhardt for positions as mods. It’s time for us second-half-of-the-alphabetters to stand up for our rights!_\* I’m a **W**. But then I have a better chance of winning the bronze in male gymnastics in Beijing. ---

Screw importance. Who’s hottest? Why should the mods, who drip with sexuality, be exempt from the hot-or-not game. Because they’ll get pissed? Oh. Er, OK. How’s’about the top three picks, in random order, so no feelings or mugs get hurt. Suppose I want to sleep my way to the top, say? This is information we need to know – so dish! ---

And just for the really geeky, the correlation between the length of a mod’s name (ignoring spaces) and their Scrabble value is roughly .71.
