Changing of the Guard, Farewell/Thanks to Chadx and Welcome to Rem!

[Venture]

Two announcements to make this evening.

First, due to personal time constraints Chadx is stepping down as a moderator here on the forum. I'd like to extend a big thanks to Chad for his help over the past few months.

To fill the gap I've recruited Rem as our newest moderator. If you don't know Rem, you haven't been reading much. I figure the timing is perfect, since Rem's S10 is all tucked away for the long Yukon winter and he'll need something to fill his spare time. Thanks for stepping up Rem!

That's all, back to business as usual.

Venture

Rem, congratulations, you old dog... ::012::

 

[rem]

There goes the neighborhood .... !!! Eh ??


Well, thank you kindly. I'm just recovering from some surgery so I will only protest mildly. Actually, it was the four first class flights to Pennsylvania that won me over .. you know, the quarterly general meetings. And the expense account. And the free Tenere housed in every state for my own personal use. It was pretty hard to turn it all down.


I'm gonna let my hernia repair heal up for a while now so I won't be so cranky. Looking forward to more time with all you folks. Thanks to Venture for his willingness to give me a shot, and to Rod for his support and his promise to trade his bike in for a black one. How could I say no ???? R

 

[Venture]

Oh yeah, Rem, I forgot to tell ya, this quarter's meeting is cancelled...I'll let ya know when the next quarter's is... >

 

[rem]

Well, when you promised me four quarters, I thought you meant .... OK, coming clear now. R

Ah, the silver lining........

 

[rem]

I despair .... !!!!! What profit it a man to have his status strengthened, only to be constrained by color ......


Is it more noble to shoulder the burden of moderation without benefit of appropriate chromation, or to resist and suppress one's designated duties until more suitable symbolic saturation can be imposed? I despair ... R

Congrats on your promotion REM. Hopefully you will not have to flog us too much.

 

[dcstrom]

Thankee kindly, and I suspect not, but Vinne and Guido are always at the ready. I'm making my first perambulation out this morning since surgery. Going into town for coffee. Hope not to get too rowdy and slip in the snow/ice. Life is tough up here in the far north. NOBODY KNOWS >>>>>>>> R

 

[troll]

uh oh, does this mean I will have to get your coffee and bow in your presence. will Guido and Vinnie quit being my friends. I am not sure having a Global Moderator living in town is a good thing... You're not going to start video surveillance I hope... ??? Does this mean you always get to ride point :-*

You're such a Troll sometimes ..... R
