Say hello to our new moderators!

We had a good response to our call for moderators, and it was extremely difficult to narrow the field down to 26 people. We had to turn down a number of very qualified people. We hope that everyone who applied to serve as a moderator this turn will consider applying again in two months.

As usual, we've got a number of new people who have never moderated before. These folks are going to need a few days to learn the ropes, so cut them a little slack and please try not to make their lives too difficult. ;-)

Please take a moment to say hello to our new moderators, and to express your gratitude to our retiring moderators.

HERE ARE YOUR MODERATORS FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS:

It's a great gig and a wonderful learning experience, especially for first timers.

The others did great as well !

A special, personal thanks to "new" mod ZenLefty (attaboy!!) and "old" mod Lazarus (way to retire!).

Good luck, and thank you for your service. Mods are the best, as they keep our community clean, safe and sanitized.

A bunch of tweed-wearing beer-swilling brogue-talking potato-humping mother-loving cabbage-eating whisky-making sheep-herding blarney-kissing shamrock-hunting blackguards!

What's this place coming to?

Kidding, of course! Welcome new mods. Every batch of new moderators does the impossible, and improves on the old batch. You are what makes community run here.

(Metacommentary: This is traditionally known as buttering up. I am a tremeendous pain in the ass to the mods, for which I proleptically apologize!) ;-)

I'm new and I want to post new topics...but I have to post a lot before I can... :(
