Thanks for @Fridge and @Troll for their continuing efforts to keep here a pleasant place to be, and for not really wanting to be moderators (which is the best qualification you can possibly have).
Thanks to @BeachAV8R for continuing to pay for all this (plus those that have donated as well) and for hosting us in his metaphorical front room.
