Are you a mod now?
Congratulations, by the way.
[gratuitous sucking up]
Veb, you are the very essence of manhood. My loins are being tugged towards the monitor by your magnetism. (as opposed to the magical suction properties of your foreskin). I scream your name at night. You are love.

If you’re going to go for gratuitous sucking up, it’s best that you get the gender right. 
Congratulations, Veb! May your moderating days be happy. And stuff. 
So people post when the OPer mistakes the gender, but my thread im IMHO is IGNORED?
Brats;)
Oops. :o
Well, change that to womanhood and take out the foreskin bit (snip snip <evil grin>), and the rest still holds.

Veb, your name is like a poem. I say it softly as sleep overtakes me. I should crawl the earth on hands and knees to reach your presence. Your female nature draws me irresistably towards you!

Whew, hope I got the gender right…
Congratulations, Vebbie.
Now that you’re the rookie on the team, we’ll let you know the tasks that will be assigned to you:
- Polish DavidB’s shoes twice a day;
- Bring Lynn her daily ration of Godiva. In the fridge, top shelve, to the left.
- Turn and fungus-check Winkelried’s Emmenthaler collection on a daily basis.
- UncleBeer needs a cold one. And a fine dame, he adds. Can you do that?
No way am I going over to IMHO to congratulate you. That slythe dude scares me
My colleague forgot Rule Nº1 for SDMB moderators:
Swiss jokes are not allowed. However, spanking insolent tulip-heads is. Bring those cheeks over here Coldie!
(And you all wonder what happens at the top-secret moderator summits. Consider this a sample.)
Yay Veb!
As with so many of the best folks here given the errr ahhh, magnanimous task of moderation of these hyar boards, I admire, concur, and sympathize with your appointment. Congrats, most sweetly, and yer little dog, too!
