Our Fearless Moderator, RichardM
« on: March 07, 2008, 07:20:09 AM »
I just wanted to take a moment to thank our wonderful moderator, RichardM.  He does a better job than me in moderating the board.  He keeps it tidy.  He keeps it organized.  He makes suggestions.  He helps keep the little amount of spam there is at bay.  He polices me.  He does all of this on his own time and by his own accord.  He has been doing all of this almost since the beginning and asks for nothing in return. 

To put it bluntly, if RichardM wasn't around, this board would likely be in disarray and chaotic.  Here's to you RichardM  :kaos-cactus06:
You da man!  I couldn't do this without you.... :eusa_clap:

But it doesn't even fit me!  It was my Dad's, borrowed because I forgot to bring a wide-brim hat!  :icon_redface:



P.S.  CG did send me a couple of t-shirts and a mug, so it's not like I'm completely without compensation.  I also get a comp Golden Eagle status, which is good since I'm probably too cheap to pay for it. :icon_redface:

  I believe that I'm on record as being in agreement...

That's great Richard, Thanks!!  You do good work!!    :icon_biggrin:

   :icon_lol: You should be a moderator or sumptin'.  :icon_lol:

   
Quote from: fartymarty on February 21, 2008, 06:10:28 PM
   This is what our hard working moderator said....

    I think he also has great taste in hats (Hook 'em! buddy) although how he can
  keep the white one clean in BiBe is beyond me. I think he should switch colors...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     In addition to that he's got a great lookin' wife!

    (poster note: I realize that even here amongst friends, that due to the anonymousness of the internet my last comment
       generates a certain amount of creepiness. It was intended to be used by Richard to get some spousal points
       should his honey-do-list be getting too large while he attempts to keep us organized. I also believe that with his
      moderating skills that he can come in here and rewrite it for maximum pointage (permission granted) or delete it altogether.
      Having said all that....you gotta admit, she is cute. :eusa_whistle:)
 
      THANKS RICHARD!! :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :high5:
