(It's Canpakes that I'm worried about!) Kidding! :)
No need to worry just yet, Ceeboo - I have a couple of awesome teammates to help guide and keep me from doing anything goofy.

: )
Cakes!

You do have two very fine teammates - And directly because of that, I don't think you'll be able to mess things up to badly. :)

Anyway - Tell me (or PM me) what it's like in this "special forum" that was created for you three, Gad and Shades. Do you all have lots of special buttons to push? Do you get to actually see Shades himself? Does Gad really smoke a pipe? Do you all play cards? Do you all know what we will post before we post it? Do you guys get medical coverage? Now that you can use red letters, do you feel like your privilege is oppressing any of us? Because there are 5 of you, are you all considering the formation of a basketball team? Have there been any serious fights yet? Is there Japanese pop music playing in your special forum while you all meet? Are there visitor day passes available for people like me to check your place out?

Ceebs, I don’t feel as if I should divulge too much about all of this, but I will say that I appreciate that Shades installed an espresso machine for us. That’s a really nice touch.

for what it's worth, since I asked if we would be given any say in choice of mods (though, of course, Shades has already made his decision on the first three), I am in favour of the three/four musketeers: Res Ipsa, Xenophon, and canpakes, and dastardly stem if he wasn't joking.

Apart from Xenophon, I've seen them post over several years between here and the mormondiscussions board. I don't remember, or cannot id, Xenophon from the old board. OTOH, I trust Shades' judgement on this decision.
malkie if it helps hearing from someone you've known for a very long time, I vouch for Xeno without reservation.
Thanks, Jersey Girl - I'm more than satisfied.

Espresso machine? All we ever got was a pitcher of Kool Aid. Screw you, Shades!

Me too. I am thrilled to see Xenophon in this position. Dastardly stem would be great as well, if Shades is still considering that. Canpakes has always impressed me with their equanimity in the face of anything and everything, so this team has my full support as well.

We all know the four mods are just henchmen for Lem and Jersey. They’re the real power behind the scenes!

Since the Musketeers rode horses, our new mods could be both The Four Musketeers, and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!

dastardly stem seems to have all of the qualifications for the job, but I'm still not entirely convinced he wasn't kidding. Plus, he hasn't been around as long as the others, so what does everyone think?
How long have others been around? I've been posting here on and off for over a decade. Not that I need to compete with anyone else. Just curious what is meant by "hasn't been around as long".

I'd be happy to help. And that's serious. Sounds like, though, the crew under consideration is quality enough and is ready to go.
I think I remember you as Stemelbow. A bit more believing back then. 😉

I’ve always enjoyed your balanced approach in viewing things without going into hyperbolic mode, or dealing in board hissy fits, etc. I think you would be a good catch if you’re willing and Shades agrees.

Regards,
MG
