I would like to Thank Both CunningLinguist and Thai-delight here instead of their announcement page - as I worry that such could morph into something unintended if done on that thread.
After all, me already being branded as a Mod arse licker - this thank you tribute COULD easily attract the wrong comment/reaction. And if anybody wants to AGAIN repeat that stupid refrain - Go right ahead, for - SO WHAT??!! I just want to express my gratitude to these 2 fine gentlemen and anybody that don't like it can go to you know where!! I just don't want such controversy to erupt on that thread.
Both of these Moderator Gentlemen have guided many of us - including and especially me - for a long time and for that, I am quite saddened they are now leaving us. Moderating a forum like ours is too many times a thankless, frustrating and daunting undertaking and I have nothing but respect and admiration for the way that these 2 gentlemen as well as the other Mods have handled themselves.
Whilst I am sad at them leaving us as moderator, I am very happy that they will still be around to enjoy the spirit that we DO have here - and thus
I would also like to give a GREAT BIG WELCOME TO CunningLinguist AND Thai-delight as our newest members!!
So guys (yeah, ya ain't a mod no more - so get used to it!! LOL!) - ENJOY!
For now you truly can do so - at last - without all that Mod baggage!!

No Petay, you DO understand the Idle Chat way and I would like to thank you for bringing this up for some of the newer members of this particular thread, who probably are NOT aware of our "ways."
So - all you "New Guys" - yeah, we have been granted the privilege to be way more "liberal" here vs other parts of the forum BUT with Quid Pro Quo that we are to be SELF-PATROLLING and NOT to take advantage of this privilege.
To this end, I'd like to C+P what I wrote on the first post on this thread for your information and adherence to:
* Post WHATEVER you want,
* Write ANYTHING that comes into your mind,
* Ask any QUESTIONS
* DEBATE any topic
* Shoot the breeze
* Get right into ANY discussions already on
* Post up any PICTURES you want*
But of course
- Please follow all rules of the forum - including no flaming, no spamming, no flooding
- Show due respect to each and every body's POV/be civil
- No gratuitous swear words/profanities.
- Please do understand that you are basically in a free for all environment - and if you do step out of line - somebody IS gonna come down on you.
Thank you guys!!
SEAJ
