Default Just letting you all know I am retiring as a moderator.

Hey all!

Just wanted to let you know that due to constraints on my time and energies these days I am officially retiring as a moderator...

I would like to say that even with all the challenges, I have actually really enjoyed my time helping keep the forum running as smooth as possible and overall the experience has been a very positive one. Members have always been very kind to me even when they may have not agreed with some of my decisions and I am thankful for all the people who have entered my world from doing so.

I will, of course, continue to participate as a member moving forward and hope to keep seeing you all here for a long time to come!

Warmest regards,

tirebob

Bob, thank you for the hundreds of hours you could have spent doing whatever else you may enjoy more than refereeing grown men. Your measured approach was always appreciated. They got their money's worth out of you.

What about all the scotch, brisket, tires, increased post count, personal info on other mods and members, etc that I was promised? I thought we had a deal? Don't tell me I have to take it up with TC

Thanks for your service, time, and endless patience!!

Hell boys, if just 100 of you each send me $100, I'll quit too, and you can stop worrying. Otherwise, I guess we just see how it goes....
