19. I am really going to miss a couple of things.
|
First, and most importantly, the camaraderie and respect that, for the most part, were the hallmarks of the mod forum and the MIRT team. It is replicated in few other places on the site and has been an incredibly valuable and rewarding experience.
Second, troll hunting. Having been one of the resident experts on a couple of repeating trolls, it is going to be an interesting experience to not be able to nuke them. What I won't miss from MIRT is the pm's. Way too many and, with my current horrendous internet question, taking up way too much of my time deleting. I hope you find a way to fix that soon. It has been my distinct pleasure to work with you, Skinner, elad and to have hopefully assisted you in achieving your goals of electing democrats. It has been very meaningful to me.  |

You'll be enlightened by the amount of work that goes into monitoring & will gain a lot of perspective on newbie trolls.
Real life prevents me from continuing on at this time, but I will definitely sign up again when the time is right. Give one a swat for me:  |
