<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I think it is different after you've met the person.<p><hr></blockquote><p> I bet for someone like yoyo the word is what betrays the owner. We all have grammar and phrases we use even if we don't know it. I make the stupid mistake of putting an "of" instead of "have" that likely stick out like sore thumbs. Carp couldn't run a sock puppet for one post without a Carpism betraying him.<br><br>Meeting people puts a real voice to the words. When that happens it always surprises me how the voice in my head I matched to a poster is exactly the voice they have when I meet them for real.<br><br>Which I will now throw in a side track: If anyone visits the new Glass Cube Landmark Apple Store in Boston without notifying me so I can meet you at the door I will hunt you down and depants you like a Mississagua avatar.<br><br>I can be there in five minutes.<br><br><br><br><br><br>

I can only add my compliments and deep, abiding affection. Before I figured out it was you, I was still really impressed with how well "The Mod" handled those PMs I got asking me to lay off. Hey, would I have settled down otherwise? Not. <br><br>That you've done such an outstanding job is obvious in the congratulations you're deservedly receiving now. And this is coming from a MacBabe who hates hates moderation. You did good, John. It was worth it after all, huh? <br><br>LL<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:white]xx</font color=white>[color:blue]I always deserve it. Really.</font color=blue><br><br>

Thanks. Perhaps I'll see a bigger Christmas bonus this year! <br><br><br><br>[color:white]I'm also the Moderator here</font color=white><br><br>my photos

Thanks John- GREAT JOB... I would have never known if we hadn't met with MikeS at Taco Mac a few weeks ago. Please lets us know when you come back and hopefully you'll bring the Mrs'. I gotta try those raging burritos before the price of gas goes up too much ! <br><br>Thanks again !<br><br>David (OFI)

Oh man, Raging Burrito! Damn, I gotta have another one!<br><br>And you haven't let me know the name of the beer yet!<br><br><br><br>[color:white]I'm also the Moderator here</font color=white><br><br>my photos

Bigger bonus, and give yourself a raise, while you're at it. <br><br>I haven't a clue how much is involved in being a moderator, but I guess you can make of it what you will. <br><br>Don't be too hasty about the one forum. Integrity of the community is much more important that the address. <br><br><br>The Bill of Rights doesn't grant us our rights, it merely enumerates them.

I thought so too, except it felt decidedly one sided.<br><br>Should have figured I already had a strike against me<br>once I called John "the Forum Nanny" when he'd throw <br>a hissy every time someone posted in what John decided <br>was "The WRONG Forum" It hit the fan after he shut down<br>the discussion I was trying to initiate about my best friend.<br><br>Funny thing was, I was the one defending the Mod's decisions<br>when other people were railing against him/her. ...Go Figure....<br><br>[color:green]"...or am I a butterfly that's dreaming she's a woman?"</font color=green> <br>

Sorry, just saw this one. Nope, it was me. Alex played along with me. <br><br>As for changing it back, I had gotten a note from Stan.<br><br>[color:white]I'm also known as OSXaddict</font color=white><br>

He-he. Alpha-female battles aside, I have no issues with any of the MacBabes here. <br><br>
