Lastly, which would be a while looking the way I'm going, I like the mods to share the 3rd box themselves. If anybody deserves a butter cookie, it is them for putting up with our crap this long.
Alright, will do. We will send the box for OoE's 5000th post to Bluesman. Bluesman will receive an additional box upon reaching 5000 posts, and OoE will receive a tin upon reaching 10,000 posts.

Seconded, somehow in my entire 2 years on this forum, I've managed to not get in trouble once, even when baited.

Amen and amen, again and again, world without end.

It is a thankless job, and more than that, it actually draws fire, some of it venomous and downright hateful, from people that we should all notice aren't willing to do the job themselves.

All this for doing a volunteer job that consumes LOTS of time...and it's all for us.

Good on ya, mods. I think you guys are doing a great job finding that fine line between anarchy and fascism, and if I ever have the poor taste and ingratitude to throw brickbats at any of you for any moderator decision, please remind me of this post.

Have a butter cookie.

Have I ever told the story about how I was banned my very first day before my first post?





( TH )





And as much as TH gets the blame for this, I think it was Gio who actually did the banning, if I recall correctly.

Wow, thanks Matt.

As much as I love to have that tin, the right choice for my tin would be TH and Confed. They worked extra hard to defuse the tensions and were on the prowl to catch the law breakers.

And ofcourse if it wasnt for bluesman, there would be no butter cookies.

Cool.
Yeah, me too. Hard to believe it's been 2 years already.

And this is an awesome idea - truly a superior brand of online Forum, is our WAB. Creative and funny. If only we knew who first came up with the idea for butter cookies.......

Sorry for the delay guys... the butter cookies haven't gone out yet. Still waiting on some funds. I'll probably have them shipped off on Tuesday.
