December 30th marks the 14th anniversary of Misc.Taxes.Moderated.
It was just one post to say I had figured out how to post. The
first user post came on the 31st and was posted in the early
morning of the first.

As always I must mention that it was the late Hank Seivers who
did all of the USENET contact and admin work thet made this a
reality.

Thanks Dick, for sticking with the job of moderating over
all these years.

Also worth mentioning, this is the slightly-more-than-two-year
anniversary of robo-moderation. Our moderator, Dick "Precedent means
nothing to me" Adams, was touring Australia at the time, and somehow the
precedent stuck.

I would like to thank the several co-moderators in addition to Dick who
help keep things moving, and as a former IT guy, wish to acknowledge the
contribution of Jonathan Kamens who made the technical aspects of
robo-moderation possible.

We even survived the Great Harlan Approved List Crisis of July '09! ;-)

Second that motion.


Now let's get down to business.

Nobody forgives a fan of the Chicago Chokers of Wrigley Graveyard
infamy - the losingest team in Major League Baseball from 1940-2009.
If there was a tax on losing, the Cubs would have had to file Chapter 7
years ago.

"Precedent means ABSOLUTELY nothing to me" means I may do with it
as I choose. In the case of robo-moderation, I wanted very much
to dump it because I really enjoyed reading each and every submission.
But it appeared and it continues to appear that robo is in the best
interest of users.

Another one of my favorite sayings is "All you can gain by arguing
with me is having your e-mail address entered into my burn-before-read
filter." ;}

As noted in another post, Harlen is a child of an inferior diety, i.e.,
the Ghost of the Wrigley Graveyard.
