Title: Moderator Promotion!
Post by: DDGator on March 20, 2006, 12:06:18 PM: R9SCarry has graciously accepted appointment as my Back-up Moderator (BUM?) for the forum. ;) Travel has been taking me away from my computer a lot lately, and I wanted someone else to keep an eye on the store from time to time...

Thanks, Chris, for all you do for the Forum.

Please continue to e-mail me with any requests / complaints. Chris will mete out justice when I am unavailable! ;D Fortunately, you guys basically moderate yourselves.

Yikes, I have lost my smilies bar!! Have to use code.

Anyways - have a great trip Duane - should be a great bit of R&R. As you know and some others too - Bonnie and I are hopefully off to Tulsa for the Gun Show, so I too will be gone briefly and hope all will stay smooth back at the ranch.

Hey... this might be the longest stretch I have been unarmed in a long, long time. :)

Post by: DDGator on March 20, 2006, 06:08:10 PM: Its worse than that... We are boarding a cruise ship for a tour of the western carribbean. No weapons allowed. At least, nothing they will think is a weapon. ;D

Definitely packing some SureFire lights though!

Post by: Richard S on March 20, 2006, 07:13:06 PM: Duane:

Great choice of Moderator! Have a wonderful cruise! (And a Surefire, as you well know, is "comforting" in more ways than most of the "sheeple" can even imagine.) 8)

Chris:

Congratulations, and thanks for being willing to take on the task!

Post by: R9SCarry on March 20, 2006, 07:40:10 PM: Thx Richard - well it is a sorta ''back seat'' thing really because we are fortunate not to have much need for moderation too often. Does mean tho that if for instance a ''certain person'' decides to try and register again, well - there are two of us to be able to potentially act! ;)

Duane - I see two pictures re the Surefire - there is ''packing'' as in your suitcase - and then ''packing'' as in mounted on your belt!!! ;D Watch six anyways like usual!

Oh and - take some exotic sunset pics on the high seas for showing us later!

All be safe on the trips-and have as much fun as legally possible!! 8)

Title: Re: Moderator Promotion!
Post by: R9SCarry on March 27, 2006, 09:14:23 PM: Haha - Jamie too late with the warning LOL! Thx pal! ;)

Well - Duane is hopefully enjoying some R&R on the high seas now. He mailed me the big hammer last week ;D

Once again the British come to the rescue. Nice choice Duane.

I also look forward to some cruise pictures.

Maybe Duane can ellucidate!
Title: Re: Moderator Promotion!
Post by: theirishguard on April 04, 2006, 04:16:15 PM: Chris, it most likely is because about 10-20 % of the posts are yours. LOL

Post by: DDGator on April 04, 2006, 06:40:47 PM: The stars are a software feature -- I don't control them per se. However, the "special" stars indicate Chris' moderator status. My stars are also textured although a different color since I am also the Admin.

The number of stars, of course, relates to the number of posts. Chris has maxed out on the number of stars... ;)
Title: Re: Moderator Promotion!
Post by: MountainMan on April 04, 2006, 08:25:10 PM: Well Chris if anyone deserves big green stars you do.

On the Seecamp forum Larry Seecamp has the moderator green stars also so you are in good company.
Title: Re: Moderator Promotion!
Post by: R9SCarry on April 04, 2006, 08:45:18 PM: Thx Dave. Tho I'd be just as content to be starless!

Just thinking - was it last Thursday Nancy had pins out? Hoping that went well and she is feeling not too much pain and can drive again.
Title: Re: Moderator Promotion!
Post by: MountainMan on April 04, 2006, 09:11:01 PM: Chris

Yes Nancy did have the operation pin out in her foot - one inch of it broke off and will remain in her foot for good - besides setting of metal detectors in the future it should be ok - she was very mad about it though.

Dave:

Joyce and I send Nancy our congratulations and the two of you our very best wishes.

For any comfort which it may be, Joyce and I each have some "extraneous internal residue" left over from prior surgeries. We laugh about it, give thanks for still being alive, and marvel in the days which we share together. Each and every day of life, especially with the right partner, is truly a miraculous gift from God.

All the best.
Title: Re: Moderator Promotion!
Post by: R9SCarry on April 04, 2006, 10:18:38 PM: Dave - well, glad the job got done but pity about residual metalwork!!! Hope all will still go on well now tho and the whole thing can be allowed to become history. Did not sound a pleasant proceedure at all.

Richard - a big, big amen to that. My thinking entirely.

Thinking again about how folks are - Tom - I hope Kathleen is coping OK and things can be looking brighter.
Title: Re: Moderator Promotion!
Post by: theirishguard on April 05, 2006, 10:10:01 AM: Chris, thanks, Kathleen went into surgury 2 weeks ago. Then the report came back they did not get it all, so she went into surgury last Thursday. She seems ok but we shall see. Then she has 6 weeks of rest and then 6 weeks of radiation. She really thanks you guys for your prayers.
Tom

Kathleen is in our prayers.
