Mods, thank you all for saving the day every day. Thank you a hundred times. (On behalf of these 99% of lurkers that benefit your work the most but never say anything.) (Flag this.)

Yes! Dang is doing such a great job. We tend to have really awesome discussions here and for the first few months on this site, I didn't even realize it was moderated. Hats off to him.

I want to chime in and agree with this. Thank you dang and sctb. You guys are amazing.

(Is sctb still a moderator? Looks like his last post was 8 or so months ago.)

Alas, Scott left. Normally we'd both have posted more prominently about that, but it happened at an especially difficult time and that simply wasn't possible. (He's fine, I'm fine, and we're fine, in case that suggested otherwise.)

Thank you for everything you do, Dan. Many of us spend our precious time here because of you. It is deeply appreciated.

Sad that Scott left, but happy to hear the circumstances are ok now.

Nevertheless, thanks to you dang for the amazing work you do, and to Scott for the work he did do.

Is there now (or will there) be a new person on the team?
