That must be it. If we pay people to do jobs that no one wants to do, it must be true that positions of glory require no monetary compensation.

Yes, emblazoned with "I dealt with a bunch of trolls on an internet forum and all I got was this crappy t-shirt!"

We could name the pelican "Troll"

I think that would fit nicely

...Actually I'd push for maybe some discounts from parts for mods or something. I know its a thankless job but our mods put up with a lot of crap for the sake of our completely free forum and don't see a thing in return--it would be cool to change that. Just a suggestion

Yup, this thread is certainly derailed. We're working hard to get our new, comprehensive Mercedes catalog up before the end of the year - I think you guys will like the improvements. We're also working on quite a few Mercedes tech articles and are tearing apart a bunch of cars. All good things, I would think. We also lowered a bunch of prices in the existing catalog, although not as much as they are going to be when we switch to the "Pelican platform".

Thanks for all your support and patience as we improve the site and the experience!

Getting the job as a moderator: $0 dollars.

Working three hours a day to keep the place under control: $0 dollars.

Watching people, like the OP, run to the management and complain about your overbearing moderation: $PRICELESS.

Tom,
Solomon beat Mark Twain to that thought by a few thousand years.
Proverbs 17
Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;

when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

I'm guessing that the true motive for this cozying up to the site owner is that our Aussie friend might be lobbying for a moderator position. If successful, I wonder which of the current mods would be shoved under the bus (which is driving on the left side of the road, of course)?

You are just so far from the mark.
I dont think you guys are ready to have a non US mod !! The idea was put to me a long time ago & I declined.

Nice one. Nothing new under the sun eh?

One of those who has emailed me off site has suggested a name ;

Party the pelican

or Part a Pelican

or Partie the Pelican

Kind of sums up the function of Pelican/Peach parts.
