Thumbs up New Moderator in Diesel Discussion

I am pleased to announce that vstech will be the new Moderator in Diesel Discussion.

John has been a very active member of the Shop Forum since he joined in March 2006. He has over 10,000 posts with most of those in DD. As you already know, he has a solid knowledge of Mercedes diesels, owns several himself and has been freely helping other members with their technical issues for as long as he's been here.

Please welcome John as your new co-Moderator along with current co-Moderator JimSmith. Diesel Discussion is one of the most active and knowledgeable communities we have on the Shop Forum. Both of these individuals are committed to seeing DD grow and flourish.

Whatever, clearly he got the position due to the number of benzes he has out in the front yard on blocks.

If that were the case he would have been the webmaster in 2006.



Yeah, Pillar was a little addition of my own....I did get permission for the plagiarism.

Switch permission from Pillar to entire quote, quote edited from original to reflect plagiarizer's level of experience and pillar swapped in for humor value....I treat english just like I treat my benz.

The REAL reason is because he's from NC. I have a secret plan to start a NC mafia in DD. My family has been in NC since the late 1700's (they're getting kinda old now).

The "Benzes on blocks" did figure in there though.
