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 28 people, particuarly since we only had five open spots this time. 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.

A moderator switch is always a little chaotic, so I want to apologize in advance for any problems that may arise over the next few days. Thank you for your understanding.

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:

:7 Thanks to the current and retiring mods! :toast:

Thanks! :hi:

May you all reign with the wisdom of Solomon............:thumbsup:

Grundy!

I think it's going to be a bumpy couple of months for the mods.

Including the run-up to the election, the election itself, and the fallout.

Needless to say, it will be an..."interesting" time!

Best to all -- :toast:

Should be interesting for you over the next two months, to say the very least! Kick a lot of Repug butt! It was good working with the mods in the last two months!

You all are the best!

win a prize!!

:bounce:

I'll get right on it! :evilgrin:

It looks like you'll get all the FUN during the run-up to election day 2004. You're so lucky! Best of luck to every one of you. You're always appreciated and DU wouldn't be the same without you.

Now, I had come to a business arrangement with the last lot. You see any large shipments of booze being unloaded in Chicago warehouses late at night, you see nothin'. Capisce?

Welcome new and returning mods! :hi::loveya::hi:

And welcome new mods... good luck... the next few weeks should be a BLAST!

:evilgrin:

You have served your forum well during a very challenging and demanding time in America's history. Well done on an excellent and first class job:toast: :toast:

And welcome to my fellow new mods -I profoundly look forward to working with you all. You truly are such wonderful people :thumbsup and I value your friendship and support:loveya:

And hello new and recycled mods... :hi:

It looks like you all will have your work cut out for you in the coming months.

And since I never say anything that needs to be deleted, you don't have to concern yourself with me. I hope that helps.

Talk about the BUSY season!!!

Enjoy
