Welcome aboard sns. I am sure you will do great. Just don't let the board get to you and don't try to do it all by yourself.

You managed to question both the judgement of the admin, as well as the integrity of the new mod in one post. A bold move, but many people would not consider it the wisest move.

Spin it anyway you like elk. You always do.
Thank goodness we are still allowed to agree to disagree in this country and on this forum.

Some very big shoes to fill but I think you will be a great Mod. Congrats!!

You have to remember Nube is ALWAYS right. But even a broken clock is right twice in one day.

As my grade 7 teacher once said to me.

broken clock is right twice in one day?

His influence in the early 1970 seventies did help.

Moderation is depended on both participation and influence.

The sad part is what to believe?

Without prejudice- Watching with interest as the forum morphs to the Left.

Alberta has forever changed-natural that the forum reflects that change

Such is life-one big pendulum.

I wish every success
In all cases I avoid Debt and Mods

I really like Cat - he did a great job and has a wealth of knowledge - thanks for putting up with us.

I also think SNS2 is a great choice. Rational, smart and insightful. Probably will do a great job ...... welcome aboard.

By the way SNS2 - I have a real poor sense of timing and cruel sense of humor - cut me some slack !!!!! lol

I think it's more to do with the crowd of ult-rights who think most of the people who walk the earth (and are left of far right) are liberals.

SNS2 is pretty balanced ..... you can't pin him with that one.

Yup. Very balanced. I've seen him arguing points that would make most other teachers heads explode.

SNS2 has to be the quietest mod so far. No acceptance speech?

He's a pretty level headed guy who in my opinion is a small c conservative. Around here that makes you a socialist. Welcome aboard Comrade!
