Like, groovy, Dudes, and you have my deepest sympathy.
So what’s the line running on when each of 'em gets Pitted first?
By which I mean seriouslyPitted by an annoyed customer, not the fake Pittings I see have already occured.
(That’ll teach me to open my yap without checking first.)
Congatulations DrMatrix and bibliophage, I am quite confident that you two will live up to the Moderator’s standard, and do a simply adequate job.
Oh, good lord, the place is going down the tubes. 
Congatulations. May your first child be a masculine child.
bibliophage, you probably don’t know me from Jesus, but I’ve long been impressed by your daily in-the-trenches battles with ignorance over in GQ. Congratulations and good luck, and congratulations to DrMatrix as well.
Damn, this reminds me, I gotta work harder at drawing a warning. I’ve never been warned. Now I’ve got two new mods whose warning cherries need to be popped.
Let’s see…

Welcome aboard, gentlemen!
As a rookie, you are obliged to relentlesly bash a 3 post newbie for asking a stoopid question. Within your first week. Preferably, you slam them so hard they’ll open a Pit Thread about you. Prepare to explain your choice of totalitarian political system: the options are National Socialism, Communism, and Neo-Luxembourgian Fascism.
If that comes in the office, you’ll have to wrestle me for it.
Fair warning.
your humble TubaDiva
Also the good cigars.
I never pitted a Moderator although I’d like to sometimes.
where do you plant the pits?

Congratulations to two well respected members:
DrMatrix and bliophage!
Long may they reign, and never be pitted. That would be the pits, especially if it were raining pits. In fact, it would be a great pity.
Congrats you two!
Great choices for mods, SDMB admins. Good work.
Congrats to you both.
I’d like to smooch Dr.Matrix too, but I see I’ve been beaten to the punch.
I’d also like to feed bibliophage some books.
Must keep on the mods good side.
Oh! Oh! I saw this one in the movies!
DrMatrix and bibliophage. You guys hang tough! Mel Gibson is searching high and low for your loved ones, and just as soon as he finds them, you can get back to your normal lives. Keep smiling.
Congrats.
Congratulamations!
Couldn’t have happened to two nicer guys.
Congrats, you two.
[sub]<Grumble. Great just when I was getting the hang of the ones we had, now we gotta break in two new ones.>[/sub]
Really good to see two of our own work their way up, good stuff.
[sub]<Hmm, I wonder if I can curry favor and get a better seat at the next meeting of the Cabal?>[/sub]
You two enjoy your newfound responsibility.
So this ten year Laphroaig I’ve got lying around isn’t good enough for you? I’ll just have to finish it myself, then.
Though if either of you guys are in the Boston area ever, I’d gladly share.

Yeah, but yours won’t say “Straight Dope Staff” on it. Not yet, anyway. heh
They passed me up again!
Congratulations to you both and thank you for taking on the tough job. I’ve enjoyed reading you both and I hope your duties won’t impinge too much on future contributions.
Enjoy your prunes !
