Excellent! I can’t think of a better choice.
Congrats, tom :).

Good choice…good luck!
I disagree.
He is a great choice!
Congratulations!

Aw, never mind. Groveling didn’t work with the other mods, why should things be different with you?[/sub]
Thumbs up! Mr. Ndebb has always been a great asset to GQ. As his inaugural act, I think he oughta get all stern with that fella who cross-posted in GQ and ATMB.
Congratulations and welcome, Tom! They couldn’t’ve made a better choice.
Congrats, tomndebb!
That SOB closed my thread!
I spent an entire 4 minutes carefully crafting that thread, ensuring that every synapse was aligned e’re I set my erudite words in type and clicked submit… only to have my thread closed after only a few views and no replies!
And to what did our jack-booted, Seig Heiling, tyrannical new nanny attribute the closing? This:
That BASTA…
Oh! Wait…
Sorry… I was channeling the future again.
Disregard until next week.
[sup]Grats, tomndebb![/sup]
Let’s get the important stuff out of the way first. I do enjoy chocolate and I do really like single malt Scotch. However, Lynn and TubaDiva seem to have those concessions covered, so all bribes should be offered in cash.
Thank you all for the welcome.
And since the issue seems to come up periodically, even making it into this thread, I’ll repeat the explanation of the username:
When I first started posting on AOl/SDMB, I was pretty much limited to my AOL username (that we used for our original joint account). The name is Tom ‘n’ Deb B.
Deb is not a message board type person and has never posted. In the ensuing years (that was September, 1997), as I joined other MBs and Newsgroups, I simply hung onto my original handle so that there would not be any continuity questions regarding who I was. Never is a long time, but I will be really surprised if Deb ever signs up to post, here.
(There used to be a “tomndebbie” on MSN–we are not that couple.)
And now I’m going to go cross-post this on the ATMB thread.
Cash? OK, here ya go, all the Iraqi dinars and Confederate money you’ll ever need!
What? No, I don’t post in GQ very much, although my first post after Our Winter of Missed Content was there (‘Why do horses whinny?’)
Congrats, tomndebb, and we all hope you use your power for Good.
They can never remember the words…
If you thought that the initiation rite for newbies involving the goat was nasty, just wait 'til we get your initiation going.
High pressure pump.
Fire hose.
Mineral oil.
And a Volkswagon bus.
Avert your gaze, oh Dopers with sensitive natures! :eek:
WOOT! Way to go Tom! You rock!
Excellent choice. Congrats Tom.
Congats, Tom~. You’ve long been at the top of my “why haven’t they roped that guy into being a mod” list.
By the way, Tom~, since inciting litigation involving the boards is one of the big no-no’s around here, as one of your first acts as mod, you may want to give that Zotti fellow a stern talking to.
Darn, I always thought you were some sort of bizarre hybrid like Catdog. Sometimes reality is such a disappointment.
Damn…now I’m picturing tomndebb as one of those sideshow “transsexuals”, right half male, left half female.
This really falls into the “what took so long?” category.
best wishes.
Ed. General Questions is for questions with factual answers.
Tomndebb, smack this Zotti guy down.
(Congrats)
Luck with your new role Tomndebb. Go easy on me, I try to be good.
