And of course I'm nice, otherwise I wouldn't still be here. I learned an important lesson back in 2004, I think. I told off what I later found out was a disrupter and though he was banned, I got my first and only deleted post. Obviously that stuck with me.

Then I became an LBN mod (back when mods were responsible for different forums, though the GD mods sometimes asked for help). Then I became a general DU.2 mod until we moved to DU.3 where we had both hosts and MIRT like we do now and I've done both.

So I try to set an example, like anyone pays attention to me. But I try to post both important news and whatever humor I can find. We sure need it now more than ever and fortunately Saturday Night Live was on tonight.

And of course I'm aware of Jimmy Kimmel. Until this week my fellow host, TexasTowelie, posted Jimmy Kimmel and I posted Colbert. I'm sure going to miss them both... And I like to think I've made friends here, including you.
