New OD mod in town.

Hello fellow peachers. I have been asked and accepted to be one of three mods in OD. I will try very hard to be a good mod. I plan to keep a low profile as much as possible. I am excited about the choices of the other two mods and look forward to working with them.

I have taken a huge amount of enjoyment from this excellent forum for the last five years or so and will take this opportunity to give something back.

I am hoping that we can get past a lot of the turmoil that we recently have had and all the old timers who had left and now returned can fold into the mix smoothly as well.

Nice approach Tom, I certainly sounds right to me that the mod keeps a low profile and not mix it up with the general membership.

Good luck with it.

Yeah, but we're about due for "antifreeze wars" which, for what ever reason leads into "R12 vs. R134" freon discussion, which then leads into enviromentalism vs. free enterprise, which leads into global warming vs. health care.......

Hey, you forgot about, "which kind of oil do you think is best?"

Or possibly a discussion of, "which kind of beans should you use to get authentic chili?"

When will you get a digital camera so we can see proof of all these cool things you see?

Congrats!

Now you're starting to sound like Mistress. She has a thing about shiny things, albeit smaller than the ones you're probably interested in.

If'n I'm reading this right, I do believe Mr. Dee8go just proclaimed smallness re: his.......



Nah, never mind, we won't go there. No need to tempt fate on the first day of moderation

And thanks Tom for stepping up!
