Please welcome TechRepublic's newest Moderator

I am sure this announcement comes as no shock to anyone.. you all know him, you have seen him topping the Weekly spam buster chart week after week...
Please welcome aboard "wizard57m" as our newest TR (and yes.. he was that brave.. ) ZDNet's volunteer moderator.

You can catch him hounding the discussions, QA over here in TR where no spammer is safe to hide (especially the zombies) and over in ZD in "The Ed Bott Report" and "ZDNet Health" blog forums.

I wondered when Wizard57 would be added as a moderator!

for a sucker, errrr, I mean "volunteer"!!

I too had been wondering when he would be added. Welcome aboard Wiz !

Now I have to be on my best behaviour! Thank you everyone...I'll be nice...
hehe...trust me...see

ps...The Ed Bott Report at ZDNet can be a lively place, can't it!
I just need to remember that with "awesome power" (a delete button)
comes "awesome responsibility".

I used to moderate in a tech forum a number of years ago ; it definitely comes with a lot of responsibility but I've always enjoyed it. I find I enjoy it more here though.

If you have any questions or whatever, I'm just an email away; I've always got my blackberry on me.

Blackberry eh? Well, I usually have my Samsung Blackjack somewhere
close! Yes, it's OLD, but it still works!

So Darryl obliged. It's a torch, but I'm thinking of upgrading to the new bold next time. But then again, as long as it works , all's good

rate that you mod me, I don't take well to the changes of being modified, especially at a fast rate.

That would interfere with the phenomenal numbers of posts you've been
making!

I've been away from the computer due to being in Wagga (45 kms away 3 days a week) and the amount of time I've been in bed feeling unwell due to some health issues. I got wonder how I managed to post so many in the short time I was at the computer. Maybe I should spend some more time writing.

the logic of pairing "Ed Bott's Report" with the "ZDNet Health" ... you might need it

To take the edge off the Ed Bott banter!

I'm sure you will be very fair and just when hitting that delete button. I'll try to keep it clean. No cursing unless you use asterisks.

AV

I'll keep it clean, have to set an example and all that you know...
as for the delete button, only used it once so far. Durned zombies!
Over at ZDNet I've already been called a "shill" for MS!! The
really funny part, it was for a comment I had posted to Ed Bott's
blog about Microsoft Surface and effects on OEMs BEFORE I
was "finalized" as a moderator, hehe! But I've got thick skin,
I've been called worse. The poster that made the comment
received plenty of head-slaps by others, I didn't even reply...
besides, I was using my netbook at the time booted into
Slax on a USB thumbdrive, hehe!

M$ Shill. They are the only ones who would dare use anything but Microsoft products.

Col

Somebody called me an Apple shill a couple of days ago, and I've never even laid hands on one of their products.

nt

I have quite a few though they are all Apple Records from a different company who was paid a great deal of money for the theft of their Trade Mark.

Though I do currently have a iPhone in bits on the work bench because the Touch Screen is no longer working. The things you do for the Daughter in Law.

Col

It had 'Hey, Jude' on one side, and 'Revolution' on the other...I may still have it someplace....

All of the Beatles Records including all of the Apple ones.

So does that make me an Apple Shrill?

Col

Gods, they'll offer that job to just about anyone these days. Where are Q- or TheWeb_Ninja?

It's been eight or nine years since I had a post deleted. I gotta try harder. Let see, ...

"BOOGERS!"

That ought to do it.
