DU Has New Moderators!

[EarlG]

First a quick apology in advance for any problems that may occur over the next few days, since moderator switches are usually a little chaotic. Thank you for your understanding.

And now... please take a moment to say hello to our new moderators, and to express your gratitude to our retiring moderators.
