Just an FYI for people who are new to the Fastlane Forum...

Below is the current list of folks who have moderator capabilities:

1) RussH
2) AroundTheWorld
3) Andviv
4) PhxMJ
5) SteveO
6) Runum
7) Sparlin

Please understand that I receive a lot of PM's (when they are on) and there is a good chance that I might not answer them timely. PM's that are of "Is this a good business idea?" nature most likely will receive a response such as "Please post this on the forum so all can benefit from the answer".

Also, as much as I would like too, I don't get the opportunity to read EVERY post. There are many threads/posts that I miss as well as the other MODS -- if your post asks me a question and I (or the other MODS) don't acknowledge it, it is probably due to the fact that we just didn't see it. There are now over 20,000 posts and I probably miss 90% of them.

If there is a problem with the forum (spam, troublesome user, etc.), most of us accept PM's. My PM's are ON moresof than OFF and I apologize when they are off.

Finally, give a big thanks to the mods for watching the ship ... spam has been kept at bay (Spam posts typically last about 8 minutes before being deleted) and flame wars have been virtually non-existent.

Thank you

MJ,
I certainly appreciate the lack of flame throwing. This forum is a good place to learn.

Congrats on the promotion SteveO!

You guys rock! The encouragement, suggestions and general moderating is really appreciated. This site is such a valuable resource if you ask the right questions and know when/how to listen to what's being said.

Please welcome our newest moderator ... SPARLIN. Thanks for joining the ranks.

Cool beans. Congrats on the promotion.

I really appreciate this opportunity. I've gained a lot from this forum and I'll do my best to maintain the quality standards you've set here.

Congrats Sparlin.

Congrats Sparlin!

Hey, now we get to teach Sparlin the secret mod's handshake!

(I prefer Hefeweizen, just so you know )

YouTube - Funny Handshake

The handshake will have to wait. I'm still trying to figure out what this red button ......

Congrats Sparlin!

I hope and expect the old school mods to engage in some hazing of the new mod during the b&p. seems only proper

Kurt! YOu're in big trouble once I find the button that lets me delete your post. Where are the buttons? Um guys... help please.

lol, you earn them if you make through pledge week aka b&p.

You don't scare me. I know all about the "Fastlane Dress Code". My costume is already packed!

Hmm . . .

Anyone seen the ads this thread is attracting?
