Just 22 years?! A mere child! LOL I’m sure I speak for everyone when I express praise and thanks for taking on this huge responsibility. You’re awesome! No “forbearance” is needed except maybe on your part for putting up with us! 😃 ---

I was wondering who the new admin would be and how that person could grasp the intricacies and eccentricities of the SDMB. I am relieved to know the Sun-Times selected someone from inside. Congrats, and sorry. 😉 ---

It occurs to me that there may be those unsure of the heritage to which we so dearly cling. Therefore, I bring you a tautly penned profile featured in Time Out Chicago from 2011 entitled, [" Who Is Cecil Adams?](https://www.timeout.com/chicago/things-to-do/who-is-cecil-adams). Not only does one peruse the article’s body of text, one might do well to click right through the photos. Here on display is some of infamous Straight Dope Artiste-In-Residence Slug Signorino’s work. Our Perfect Master, frequently portrayed as a turkey wearing a mortarboard, is depicted. 🙂 ---
