I would like congratulate Duane, Antoniseb and Galaxygirl for 'making the grade' to Moderators.

It's all about quality, not quantity.

Haha. Keeping an irrelevant topic, on topic is not a pun, rather a contradiction.

so congratulating people is 'irrelevant'? Well you have the power kashi, as you've shown repeatedly, but i still disagree with you - congratulating is a nice thing to do.

All i wanted to do was to congratulate the 3 new mods, and give a thread for others to do the same, not discuss quality over quantity which is in a different thread that both you and I have contribued to.

Alright alright I'll say it too - let's just stick to saying congrats to the new moderators here - if anyone wants to argue about quantity over quality, they can start a new topic about it.

Stuff it! Why the hell would a busy person want to be a Moderator (genuflext, genuflect, genuflect!). Serves you bloody right! :P

Thanks Damienpaul

Yeah, being a moderator is a terrible burden of back breaking labour. The fools agreed to do the job... the FOOLS! Ah hahahaha!!!

Oh.. did I say that out loud?

Well, if quality is more inportant then quantity, is sanity a factor :huh: ? Because sometimes I doubt my own sanity ...like some other people I know <_< ....

Anyway, congrats to you all .
