Excellent, Jim makes an ideal Moderator, I think.
I have a shack, Jim, but no shed. But someday... someday... |

Okay, okay. I'll start putting shingles on my storage locker tomorrow. When I get funny looks from the other people in my building, I'll direct them to you. 
Well done Jim.  I look forward to the the infusion of your unique personality to the job of moderating.

 *Wipes milk off face* it wasn't me sir! I swears! And I do have a shed, just in case your wondering, but I do use for such activities as *gasp* storing stuff... Edited by progismylife - April 08 2007 at 16:52 |

Congratulations.
 Yes, Tony, as I suggested to our Jim in a PM, I'm only afraid that he WON't be able to be "mad' any more. With all due respect (that's a LOT!) I remember great forum guys like yourself and Bob simply being (and presumably having) a lot more fun, before you took on the responsibility of moderation.
Forum fun and a welcome relief from real-life stress & responsibilities becomes a job, with relentless exposure to the negative (through "report" PMs) and actively searching for abuse/rule breaking. (Ever meet a jaded, cynical cop? How about a peevish HS teacher?)
One also has to "set a good example."
 (mixed feelings -- sigh)
Well, again, Jim, my friend (if mods can have "friends"
) you have my unwavering support, no matter what.Hmmmm... I feel the time for a long-contemplated thread re the role and rewards of moderating has come. Stay tuned.... Edited by Peter Rideout - April 08 2007 at 21:25 |

Jim - congratulations, and thanks, we needed some fresh wind (pun intended
) in the admin team.And I have a shed, it came with the house 4 years ago, so I hope you let me stay on. Any chance I can just sit at the table in the grey room, instead of sneeking underneath, hoping for spilled drops and falling crumbs? |

The Grey Room shall retain Mr. Garten's chair in the member's room for posterity and for sitting down on.
Your newspapers shall be ironed every morning sir. Ben (Progismywifenowdave) will be informed of this when he returns from Welsh Wales. BTW. I have a shed. A Listed one at that.About 15 degrees Edited by Man Erg - April 08 2007 at 13:37 |

A new rule for y'all...
Shed ownership is now compulsory for all members without exception, said edifices to be subject to inspection without notice, let or hinderance. I have spoken, so let it be.  Edited by Jim Garten - April 08 2007 at 13:30 |

Thanks for the welcomes guys - it's going to take me a while to get my feet under the table as 'SON OF TERMINATOR', so be gentle with me... this site means a great deal to me, so I thought it was about time I did my best to try to give something back.
Report you? I'm an admin now sonny - I can do a damn sight more than just report you...
