I’m happy to announce that **tomndebb** , veteran poster at the SDMB, has agreed to moderate the General Questions forum starting immediately. Please join me in extending him a warm welcome, although preferably not so warm he quits on the first day. Glad to have you with us, Tom. Yeah, I know I’m crossposting. Sue me. ---
