I was gonna ask which one?
As long as I cook and supply desert, then all is well.
I could still use a break though so I can work on my own pc's and Linux installations.
Go get those crossposters David. :D

Before long you will see how right you are in that statement.
Some may believe it's all glory, but you soon find out the truth.
Then you have members such as Uberclocker, that only receive and never give back to the community and then have the damn nerve to complain of someone that spends nearly 50 hours a week on their own hours that tries to help out and moderate the forums in a attempt to make JL a good and helpful experience for all.
Further comments from anyone will find themselves banned.
<edit>
Uberclocker... Just did a search under your account and see that 75% of your JL contributions are in /dev/random and the other 25% are ALL questions YOU have posted in General. You are certainly a asset to our community. Way to go.

I was asked by the admins last year if I would consider being a moderator. I figured that since I spend so much time here I may as well. Good decision? Sometimes though it does take quite a bit of my time performing the mod duties.
The recent additions to our moderator group were from recommendations from yours truly. They have all been extremely helpful to the LNO/JL members, spend time here on a daily basis and are level headed/mature. Two of the others declined the position.

A note to all...
Uberclocker and I discussed our comments that were made to each other in this thread via PM today (thanks for contacting me Uberclocker) and have certainly resolved any issues that came of this. We both accepted each others apologies and now are the best of buds.
Instead of explaining all the reasons behind my conduct, I will just repeat to Uberclocker... again please accept my apologies.
Just in case anyone is wondering, I've removed the individual posts so to not cause any further embarrasment to either.

I have noticed a slight decrease in the amount of 'let's dump on mdwatts' threads since.
Guess the *cough* promotion *cough* paid off.
Of course that also has it's downfall as some expect me to know the answer to every single question posted here. I don't...
Want to know the secret? Now get ready for this....

OK, so it wasn't the most intelligent post. Just asking if anyone else was having trouble getting through to ibiblio.org. Having a little fun...
It didn't even get moved to /dev/random (where it probably belonged...) it was just outright deleted!!!
GRR!!! :eek:
What's up? Why does "France is no friend to the US" get to hang around and mine gets killed??
OK, I feel better. :)

Guilty as charged... Of course you knew that already, didn't you? :)
Besides a topic that did not belong in the General forum and a quote from you "wasn't the most intelligent post", it also contained a few choice words that should not be used in a help site that is meant for all ages and genders and so I removed the thread.
