Hey All,

With growing personal and professional responsibilities, DougSloan is retiring as Moderator. Doug will still be around, he just won't have to delete all the "over-the-line" podium girl pics now.

Please help me welcome a New Moderator: J's Haiku Shop! Race organizer, winter bike project builder, Beavis fan, and all around nice guy!

I'm sure you guys won't make him work too hard, right?

Thanks for stepping up J!

Actually, we couldn't have a better followup to Doug. Congrats J!

What? You don't have enough to do? :) Thanks for stepping up, and thanks to Doug for doing a thankless job well.

...RadicalRonPruitt not available? Just kidding.Good luck to you.Thanks to Doug for his outstanding job. :)

When I click on the QuickReply icon, I get the "reply with quote" form, just as I do when I hit the regular reply icon. Problem?

What, Doug actually gonna start riding again? :)

Congrats!

:)

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts. I'm sure JSH will do fine.

With a new baby arriving in 2 weeks, a 19 month old at home, several big trials lined up, and trying ever so hard to ride a little I just didn't think I could or should keep up here as much. Plus, I think there is nothing wrong with new blood now and then.

I'll be around now and then, just not as much.

Doug

I'm checkin' by replying to your post now.

Hmmmm...worked for me. There is a checkbox at the bottom to include reply or not, not sure if that's what you're referring to.

J, I'm sure you'll do a great job - but will you stop riding?

We'll get him drunk enough to blab the password!

Congrats, J....Local Club Pres and RBR Moderator

Congratulations J and thank you Doug.

The King is Dead, Long Live the King.

Good, perhaps now we can have fewer limits on our free speech, but, knowing J, I fear that this will mean more and more and more picture posts :)

Lots more work, but my mother-in-law raised 9 and says that after the third one it doesn't seem to matter how many there are. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Doug

J glad to see you step up

Thanks Doug and J.

J, how about an inauguration, or is that coronation, haiku?

to Doug for a (largely) thankless job that was well done. After your playing parent to all of the posters on this board, another baby should be a piece of cake

to J for agreeing to do the job. Enjoy your honeymoon while it lasts. As you know, the monitor can get a lot of grief -- fast.

You will not find a stronger First Amendment advocate than I am. But, on a private (i.e., non-governmental) forum such as this one, I appreciate the moderator's efforts to keep things within reasonable standards.

I'm checkin' by replying to your post now.

This is what I get when I hit quick reply. Hmm.

Gregg:
It's my doofy office computer. Works fine at home!

Many thanks to Doug for a thankless job and congrats on the new child on the way.
J is a great choice for moderator. Here's to the two of you.

i've enjoyed this forum for it's better than average maturity level, best of luck to all of those who choose to follow!!

"Please help me welcome a New Moderator: J's Haiku Shop! Race organizer, winter bike project builder, Beavis fan, and all around nice guy!"

No offense to Doug, but I'm looking forward to the J'sHS era. Things might be a bit more wild and wooly. The Moderator is Dead! Long Live the Moderator!

thanks in advance.

Come on js, it's like taking a Porsche out for a test ride. Why not goose it just once to get the feel?
While we're at it, why not let Doug give someone the boot just for old-time's sake?

So basically, your giving up about 100 adult kids for adoption in exchange for one infant. Good bargain. You're welcome to come back and delete any of my posts, just to feel young and powerful again.

Condolences J

Thanks for the hard work Doug and welcome J's HS!

Probably a firewall setting, I bet.

Thanks to both Doug and J. I've been a good tenant.

Thank you Doug. Best wishes.
Good luck J. If you moderate as well as you ride, you will be great.
