Democratic Underground has new moderators!

[Skinner]

As usual, we had a good response to our call for moderators, and it was extremely difficult to narrow the field down. We had to turn down a number of very qualified people. We hope that everyone who applied to serve as a moderator this turn will consider applying again next term.

A moderator switch is always a little chaotic, so I want to apologize in advance for any problems that may arise over the next few days. Thank you for your understanding.

Please take a moment to say hello to our new moderators, and to express your gratitude to our retiring moderators.

HERE ARE YOUR MODERATORS FOR THIS TERM:

retiring and staying mods. :hug:

Kudos to the new ones. I just scrubbed the algae off the mod hot tub and refilled the mini-bar. And yes, the Bud Miller Extra Light costs extra. Sorry for that! ;)

34. Hey, Wesley, thanks for locking the ones that you did -- and leaving most of my posts alone!

So, are we going to be in a hot tub -- together -- on Saturday afternoon 6/30?

Mine will be at the home of Republican friends (yes, we don't bring up politics and they don't either) in Clackamas, Oregon, They are celebrating the graduation of their handsome son, Taylor. He's going to train as a firefighter! Kudos to anyone choosing that type of work.

Have a wonderful summer!

In peace,

Radio Lady in Oregon

32. It will be interesting getting a notice from "The Magistrate" as a new mod

"Ma'am,

I say with all respect and due deference that your post has some improprieties."

:)

[Radio_Lady]

35. The Magistrate and I haven't communicated directly in recent months, but he is so eloquent...

I'm also trying to debate delicately with those with whom I may disagree.

By the way, is this avatar a Chinese dragon? I just figured it out.
