Say it ain’t so, Joe. You did a difficult and often thankless job with grace, humor,and equanimity; not like **tomndebb** , who, as everyone knows, is a hypocritical pussy. In all seriousness, I wish I had what it takes to be a mod on this board. Not that I would\*\* do it\*\* in a thousand years, I just wish I had the chops. Thanks, **Veb** , for a job well done. ---

They should let you keep the boots – you always looked kinda hot in them. ---
