I, for one, welcome our new moderating overlord.

Hope this doesn't decrease the number of contributions as regular member from him, as I quite enjoy them.
Nevertheless, congrats!

All,

Yes I have now fully arrived as a net gawd.

Actually I'm pretty fucking frightened. I really love this forum and the last thing I want to do is mess things up or drive away members. Trust me, I don't plan on going into isolation from posting. When I read stupid shit I'm gonna expose it. Nothing is going to change there. I will, however, become more careful about what, and how, I write.

Hopefully some of the things I've learned from back in the now dead rd.net until now will come in handy.

I fully expect the rest of the mod team, and administrators, will hold my hand through my educational experience. They better if they want me to do even a half assed job. Right now I have the Who song, "You Better You Bet" running in my head.

Durro has given me a few practice problems to solve, and I think I've figured out most of this but I'm still quite hesitant. Some of this is a little confusing, but like all new things that should get better with practice.

Whew, this is gonna be interesting!
