Default Greetings from Leo, new Moderator

Good day folks, I’m Leo, your newest Moderator. I’ve been hanging around here for 10 or so years. I am a husband to a beautiful little woman, father to 3 adult children. I’m a Commercial Construction Professional, I started construction in 1977 working for my dad. I’m an avid hunter (41st year of holding a license in Alberta), gun nut and reloader. I’ve met many members off this forum, and everyone has blossomed into a genuine friendship. I sincerely hope to meet many more of you.
Leo.

Thanks for signing up to help keep the AO forum in order. Hopefully people start thinking a little straighter then the past few days. Some pretty heated arguments going on and looks like the Moderators were busy trying to keep them in check. Good Luck and you’ve got my word that I will not make you put your new skills as a moderator to work.

Couldn't have picked a better guy to mod.

If you ever suspend me I'm withdrawing my offer of $ 100,000 for your house.

So you know Leo, it is not a thankless job as a moderator. We all thank you already.
