Huge thanks for so diligently doing what is a thankless task too many times in public forums. I would say though your kind demeanor has been very obvious in your dealings with the forum from an admin.
Buuttt now you are released to really say what you feel and be as cheeky, insightful and argumentative without being accused of power abuse will also be good I bet.
In all honesty forum mods should get some rewards along the way and none of us should forget this. It must be incredibly hard and hats of to all mods, they do an amazing job here and all seem like a fantastic bunch of folks.
So welcome Mark and thanks a lot for what you have done so far !!! I hope we all have a way to travel here.
