I knew I was happy for a reason when you were appointed to complete my unfinished term! Good job and thanks!

And some might say that's a cheap shot

Since I've never been a flunkie to anyone & pretty much everyone knows I speak my mind (even if they don't like what I have to say), I know you're not referring to me.

Cheers.

I always felt that was a load of crap. And apparently the man who originated the phrase has changed his thinking as well, given his vastly different approach to moderation he is taking on MilePoint.

Indeed I'm not. The cheap shots on the thread in question were swiftly removed by the wonderful Moderator2 as they constituted personal attacks!

Amen to that. As a moderator, I've always felt way more important than you.

In fact, I could ban you right now, and with the procedures we have in place, it would probably take a couple of months for you to get reinstated.

Sadly, this is also the ONLY power I have in my life.

Really? How has something that I (as a member and former moderator here) experienced made it "some day" for you ?
