Re: Support all the great moderators here

Drat, I hate systems which think they know better than me. Just lost my well-informed, thoughtful, supportive piece of hyperbole. Darn it all to heck.

Re: Please keep "Off Topic"-section off topic!

THis is absolutely, and categorically, untrue. Did you even bother to read it?
