MECHANIMAGUS MODERATOR TAKES THE SLOW LANE

Penny has said everything I would have said and a bit more. 

At no point would I want new members or veterans here to feel 
alienated by my ADMIN of this list and if I have offended anyone with 
my (16" bamboo, rather rigid) moderating wand, I'm sorry. I'm not 
pregnant, but I do have mood swings. 

I guess I *could* just polish the wand rather than thwacking it about 
all the time.  Let's see...

Any old hands who get snarky risk having their own, quavering first 
post to this list hung out to dry in the Files section, so be warned! 
Oooh... and some of them are classics [I'm using... the... search... 
facility... yeah, it is a pain in the butt sometimes].

As Penny said, we have a gaggle of List Elves waiting in the wings to 
assist with newbie concerns. In fact, they are running around me this 
very minute, chuckling to themselves, tugging at my second best robes 
and occasionally banging their lumpen heads against a brick wall.  In 
the background, they have "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" on repeat play on 
one of those fandangly Muggle music machines.  Honestly, I...

"OY! SHUT UP!!! You're giving me one of my heads!!"

Here be magic.  Let's keep it that way!
