    As usual you express things sooner and much better than I can, so I'll just add ditto. OoE was the reason I stuck around here at the beginning, and he's the best teacher I've ever had.

    As regards everyone else thinking he no longer carries a big stick, just remember he has my ear. SWSNBN posts will still be frowned upon;)

      Thankyou, Colonel for the fine job you've done as a mod over the years and thankyou especially for being a good sport wrt to SWSNBN. :)

      I still hope you keep posting here on WAB because although I rarely mention it, it's been a privilege and one hell of a learning experince to read your posts wrt NATO and and especially China.

      Thankyou.

          Hmmm OOE, Stepping down? Celine Dion pregnant with twins? Both being from Canada? Hmmmmm, ofcoase with all due repect Colonel Sir, 1+1 does indeed equal two. I'd demand to see the Paternity tests!.

          Quick, get them both on the "no fly" list and make sure the two of them arent making some mad dash for China and some cozy love nest in the hills.:));)

          INCOMING!;):))

              Colonel Sir,

              I am willing to present myself fully dressed at your dining table, if that can make you change your mind.

              Hope you keep chewing the "gullibles" even while not moderating.
              You are just too Good not to missed. My sincerest regards Sir.

                    Aww, c'mon!

                    We could've asked some of the other mods to impose stop-loss, but I guess that's not an option :P

                    Thanks for your time here as moderator. Hopefully you will continue to contribute your wisdom and experience to the WAB :)

                        They are just setting you up for later. ;)

                        Glad you are sticking around Col. You're the reason I first came to the board. :)

                              "Why are you guys kissing my ass now that I'm no longer a mod?"

                              Uhh...because you're still a colonel and colonels are scary people.

                                Proof that its respect of the person, not the rank in your case.
