Do you remember the guy who jumped on the back of JFK's lemo in Dallas?...yes, he was a moderator. Did you ever see, "Men in Black' ? Remember that written test they had to take? Questions like, "Which is prettier, red or blue? Those are the kinds of things we had to go through to achieve the position. We only sleep about two hours a day and the other 22 we spend in front of out monitors so you and the other members will never know where the best deals are on Viagra or where to look for the hottest dates. You might see us talking to our wrist watches. That's a sure clue that a new post has arrived on the forum that needs our immediate attention. I happen to have a pair of wraparound sunglasses that double as a transceiver. We're totally committed to the hobby and to motorized bicycles in general. We are paid an exobitant salary for our services, the amount is top secret but I just paid cash for a villa in the south of France, if that gives you a clue.
We often wear disguises, I came here once as George Bush and no one knew the difference. All moderators are combat trained, proficient in hand to hand combat and we have extensive counterintelligence and jungle survival training. It is a demanding and thankless job but...as they say; "Someone has to do it".
So the next time you see a locked thread or wonder why you don't see page after page of adds for pharmaceuticals...thank a moderator, and know that we're always here, always on the job and watching after you...Sleep well, your forum is safe tonight.
Tom
Sleep about two hours a day? SLACKER! No wonder all is chaos o.o
