Just wanted to drop a line and give a warm welcome to our new moderator, Alan.
I’ve known him for quite some time now. He’s a kind soul, and is a voice for sanity and reason in the nightly chats, where he can almost always be found in the evenings.
While Dale and Rich are occupied, it’s good to know the board will still be in good hands.

Three cheers!
Three and a half!
I didn’t even know Alan existed, which makes sense since I almost never do the chat thing…chat freaks me out; it’s like being amid a flock of parakeets on acid. If a “voice of sanity and reason” would be found out of that milieu, then Dale has done well indeed, and cheers to Alan for being so kind as to offer up his time as a moderator to this board. Fair play to you, Alan!
A thoughtful person indeed! Good choice Dale!
You may sit in the cathedra Alan!

Up, Alan!
Maybe you’re not such a bad fellow after all (when you’re awake, that is).
And let’s not forget, he looks good in gold lame. 
Janice, do you have pics of Alan in gold lame! Or are just teasing us! 
MarkB
Mark. I would never tease you.
That’s the one, but it didn’t quite look like that on Alan.
When you pencil in the mustache you get a pretty good impression, though.
dear Alan,
I will be sending you my secret list of miscreants, malcontents and ne’er-do-wells that need to be watched.
Your pal,
Stewy Smoot
What about reprobates like me?
…and the feckless, such as myself?
