It's been fun, but I'm stepping down

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

As several know, I became a moderator while Rock was deployed and on long-term assignments away from home primarily to help Dixi shoulder the heavy load of monitoring this site. I continued after Rock's retirement to help Dixi shoulder the enormous load while Rock was out thru-hiking. Now that Rock is back, I'm stepping down as a moderator.

[Two Speed]

Ah, man, I just ordered the steps and handrails so's you could be safe when climbing on my back!

All kidding around aside, thanks for your time and efforts.

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

That's OK Two-Speed - I will still climb your back as needed

[JERMM]

No, tell me it ain't so. Who's gonna wrap us with the Dino tail when we need it?

[Two Speed]

That's OK Two-Speed - I will still climb your back as needed

Yeah, but if you ain't a moderator what makes you think I'll have the rails and steps installed when they arrive. Them anchor bolts are a PITA.

Anyone get the bad pun implicit in that one?

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

I'm not leaving WB - just stepping down from the moderator position. I will still be available to wrap the Dino tail around folks as needed.

You did a good job, FD.....

[emerald]

I'd like to express my appreciation, since it was likely a mostly thankless job you did which someone needed to do.

[Blissful]

Ditto what SOG said.

(And I'm enjoying meeting your grandkids)

Thanks FD, you had a tough job and did it well.

I look forward to meeting you next year (or sooner) when the soccerdiver hits Maryville.

[Thru Hiker Wife]

I feel like I'm going insane!!!!!!

[auburnbreeze]

Thanks FD. We may not have always shown it but your work was respected and appreciated!!

[dessertrat]

Fair thee well, my fair Spanish lady
Fair thee well, my lady of Spain
Etc. Etc.
Isn't it a relief, Dino?

Ditto what SOG said.

Thanks for your work...BTW has anyone told you that this particular grandkid looks a lot like Drew Barrymore when she did "ET"?

[ASUGrad]

Will you still be accepting blame?

[spittinpigeon]

Fair thee well, my fair Spanish lady
Fair thee well, my lady of Spain
Etc. Etc.
Isn't it a relief, Dino?

You go inside the cage?
Cage goes in the water,
you go in the water,
shark's in the water,
our shark.
Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies.
Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain.
For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston.
And so nevermore shall we see you again.

[Roots]

Thanks for all the hard work, FD!! I know moderating us crazy hiking fools can be a handful.

[T-Dubs]

I'll add a 'thank you' as well. Moderating can be burden and I (we) appreciate your time and effort.
