You are the best of the 3 moderators that are currently doing the job. A job that I probably wouldn't be willing to do for anything less than $25 an hour btw. But I never had any arguements at all with the previous moderators, now all of a sudden I've had problems. That's gotta tell you something. Anyhow, this all wasn't the intent of the original thread. It started out being Fernando saying that it was a difficult choice for the next moderators, and I said it was an easy choice basically, and it's degenerated into an arguement with departing moderator Dave Gomboc.
