Welcome the new mods - now 33% more conservative!
I've closed the poll and tallied the results, and our new mods are tomsyl, Jordan and M Scott Eiland. I think we all owe our gratitude to catchy, who IMO did a great job as a mod. Tomsyl and Jordan, well, some people are just gluttons for punishment. Scott has already served as moderator, so I believe for the first time we have all veteran mods. I know a major election is coming up, but let's try to make this term somewhat reasonable for these guys.
I promise I'll try to remember to hold the next elections at the end of December.

I'll apply the patches tonight, and either things will be back to normal or I'll be f&^ked. I think I'll also have to add a capcha to the sign up form.
