I think that it's great that you even considered it, and may consider it in the future. I'm a problem child here at times, but I have a lot of respect for the mods and admin. Pay and appreciation are in very short order for the lot of them.

4. I've always enjoyed your posts, and you'd probably be a good mod.... |
