Sure Rob, I'm sitting here trying to read my favorite motorcycle forum, and you make me have to go round up a cat to kiss.  I hope you're happy.

Rob ain't even close to being omnipotent...  Just lost a great posting on another board (NOT B'works...) due to the proverbial computer glitch, and now I am depressed.  Does god get depressed?  I'll bet not.

C'mon John, just 3 (or 4) more to go: not sure if the "upgrade" kicks in at 250 or 251!
You go, boyeeeee!! 8-)

I'm gonna stop posting for a while, and start editing older posts if there's anything else to say.

Yeah, I should probably get Justin to "demote" me back to normal member status, since I haven't done any actual "moderating" since this forum got cranked up!  ;)

I do look regularly at the names of the "latest new members" to register, however.  There's usually some obvious spam-posters who try to get on our little forum, but they never post because either Justin or Rob always zap 'em! [smiley=rifle.gif]  Good shootin', boys!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I haven't had to zap a one, yet.

So far I have only stuck my fingers in where they don't belong...but only twice, I think.

To placate those in the crowd with thin skins I have removed the "drooling" references from a couple of the level descriptions.  I really figured y'all had nice warped senses of humor and would appreciate the newbie "jab", but I guess not...   :-/

Funny how people aren't how we imagine them to be, isn't it.

Or as a famous man once tag-lined:
"Everyone seems normal until you get to know them."

Now we're offended by the "thin skins" reference.  I'll have you know that my shop tools have to smash through at least a half mm of skin before I see any blood.

This happens with depressing regularity.

Well,
When I first saw the new posting ratings I thought we'd "done been hacked". The very idea of a BMW owner drooling seemed  ridiculous. (said with clenched teeth). So Ill throw my lame suggestions out there for consideration / ridicule.
Überserra = over seer or moderator
Knöchelkerl = knuckle buster
Zuschauer = bystander
Kopf der garage = head of the garage
or some other such titles. At least our moderator should be top of the Alps! Wheres this Olympus thing any way?
