    Hmmmm, the way I remember it, you and Biak became moderators at the same time, so how come he's the newest???????? Was seniority assigned alphabetically? In that case it was a really close one now wasn't it.
    Now to Roger/Biak, he is a seriously nice guy. He even went as far as to send mail and packages to my son and his fellow Marines in Afghanistan when Ryan was there. He did it because he's my friend on here, a man I've never met, but as good or better a friend than people I see every day.
    As for the 5,000 posts that's a serious milestone also. Roger and I joined this forum on the same day. 15 November 2009. He's made twice the posts I have, and I know I've got a big mouth. What's even more impressive is his 5K are quality posts.
    As you all know, when we moved to the new boards our friends list got zeroed. I've replaced some of them, some of them replaced me, I didn't pay it too much attention since I don't use the function a lot. I went there today and realized Roger was not on the new list, an oversight I truly regret and immediately rectified.
    Roger, you are one of the good ones, I wish you all the best my friend.

    Aw shucks, it weren't nothing. This forum has saved my sanity a few times - good place to get lost now and then.

    Good show, Roger. I know what Tommy is saying. There are several on this site that I like and respect, even though I have never met them. Obviously, you are one. Here's to 5000 more.

    I was going to ask a58 (he got demoted to lowercase) if he was still planning on visiting Bemidji this Summer.
    John Wayne was overrated. How's THAT ?

    That last statement might be enough to bring Carl back.

    I know this is off-topic, but I also miss Carl. We spoke on the phone several times, so I got a better handle on him. I did notice that he was thrown out of another website, one which he moved to after here. I'd like to know what happened to him.

    Well, as usual, I'm showing up late for the party. :rolleyes:

    Congratulations, Rog. You're already half way to the 10,000 club.

    Oh, and all the nice stuff everybody has said about you... that goes double from me. Cheers! :cheers:

    As I slip into a light trance I begin to channel Carl....

    He is plotting the abduction of Biak to put him in a locked room to watch Donovan's Reef and The Conquerer over and over again until he repents his herasy!
