Thanks, VR!

I agree, congratulations (and chocolate) are in order (Patricia, Dynamite Express should be delivering your MR-jetpack and MR-chocolate today - both have iris recognition built into the packaging, so nobody should be able to get their hands on them before you).

However, I don't think it would be remiss to say that the congratulations (at your worth as a moderator being recognised, and for the honest and just pride at wishing to help maintain, steer and promote this wonderful community) should also be tempered with acknowledgement that moderation can, sometimes, also be a thankless task, having to deal with the spamming dregs of the interwebs; the ego-laden rants of paranoia and insecurity at perceived injustices [irony alert!]; or sociopathic deconstruction by careless cynics crawled out from under their bridges. Plus, the eye of the community is always upon you, and often judging your opinions through your "badge".

Moderation isn't easy; it can be quite painful at times (though it is very rewarding in the long term). So, while we're saying congratulations to Queen Zee, I'd also offer her and her co-empowered

a ...

...thank-you. You are always appreciated, even when you're not always appreciated.

Cheers,
Marc

Congratulations to Zelda and my thanks as well to all the mods. Gadget forums tend to get so combative sometimes, but MobileRead is such a friendly and helpful place.

I believe this must be lo-cal chocolate.

lo-cal chocolate... what is the point of that?

I just had pancakes and maple syrup (real maple syrup) for dinner

(now I need a fat smiley)

mmm, pancakes...

as for the fat smileys, watch out, they might not fall off tall bikes in such slow motion...

then again, probably the trailer bikes will take care of them for ya.

I prefer it to far-away chocolate

"Ethereal chocolate"; lingers on the taste-buds and on the sensory parts of the nostrils...

Ok, let me get a bit serious here. Can you tell which browser are you using, it's version and what type of connection do you have? We can try to improve your page load time a bit (if it's slow)...

I've got a fairly fast system that loads about asquickly as you'd care for. I was just hoping that ZP's amazing Moderator Super Powers would make it even faster.

Being a smart ass, in other words.

well, as moderator, i *do* have a jetpack. so it's not a completely unreasonable request.
