I love mods because none of them have put a restraining order against me yet, and this is what real friends do - refrain from bringing you to court.
Surprisingly (or not) when I take that criteria in account, I realize I don't have that many real friends...

I don't post here anymore, but I saw this and wanted to extend a "thank you" for your kind words.

To the MODS we salute you !......

(now, who's had my chocolate !)

Wetdogeared · 07-04-2009, 10:18 AM

Thank you mods!

To rephrase a pearl of wisdom...

Make sure to always take care of your Bartenders Mods so that they take care of you!

(They can be extremely helpful and pack a mean karma
or cut you off or even bar you if you're misbehavin'.)

WDE.

I have read that the best moderators are those composed largely of hydrogen. In my experience, though, the moderators here are made of much sturdier and more valuable stuff than that.

MR moderators apparently have even been noted in the media. Below is a recent photo from the NYTimes (their photography budget may have been cut recently) of Zelda? Patricia? during a recent thread discussion on epub and DRM. I wouldn't stand a chance in there and I'm glad we have very capable and dedicated people keeping the peace.

I see Marc, sans pants and all, was there. Maybe that's what happened to him.

It might be one of my philosophy seminars. Somehow it looks familiar.

Thanks for the kind words. We moderators don't always get everything right, but it helps to have such a nice bunch of fellow-members.

i think it's patricia ; she wears her hair pinned up when the weather is hot, whereas i cut mine off.

NormHart · 07-06-2009, 09:01 PM

Umm, point of order;

Shouldn't it be neurons that are slowed here at MR by moderators not neutrons?

In any case thanks for all your efforts.

At some other sites, they have tried alternatives to thoughtful human moderators but with limited success.

zelda_pinwheel · 07-07-2009, 04:13 PM

or moderator human, for that matter.
