My turn to make an announcement. :mrgreen:

I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

I really enjoy this place, I've met a number of really good people here and made some friendships that hopefully will last for the rest of my life.

Recently, Joey has resigned from being a Moderator. As most of you know, it is a THANKLESS job. Many of you even said so in another thread.

I was tapped to take over for Joey when he gave his resignation. While I'd love nothing more to be a helpful member here, that job is just too much for me to even attempt.

My wife has been very ill of late, requiring many hospital stays, and all that comes with it. I too have my own health issues that prevent me from spending too much time
doing what I love to do, read and contributing to this forum. I wish I had more to give. but I don't.

I personally called Joey and asked him NUMEROUS times to PLEASE reconsider his decision. He was adamant and very resolute.

After many conversations, I'm happy to report that we've come to an agreement that makes a WIN/WIN situation.

Joey has agreed to CO-MODERATE the forums. We will work as a TEAM. CJ will be helping as well.

More information will be forthcoming.

I personally wish to THANK Joey for his understanding and willingness to help me with this. It took a lot of guts for him to agree to come back after his announcement.
I called in a few BIG, personal favors. PLEASE make him feel at home. I owe him big time.

Thanks Joey, I truly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time everyone.

Tony

Great news!

I called Joey too, but he had his mind made up. He's my friend, so no matter what he decides to do and I'll support his decision

(but I'm glad he's back).

To 2012!

Thanks Tony :)

Cheers,

Dan-o

Us guys in Montana know a thing or 3 'bout shootin' too ya know...
:lol:

Joey, thanks a million for deciding to come back in, the place just wouldn't be the same without ya.

Tony, I hope for the best for you and your family with the medical situation. I've been through a lot of the same the last year or so and I can understand just how taxing that can be.

Perhaps I've lost my grasp on sanity, but I'm glad to be able to lend a hand here on the RRF...

This board goes "overboard" to try to be civil and accommodating. Most boards just take the "Alexander the Great approach to the Gordian Knot" treatment when dealing with such. In the long run, such forebearance is greatly rewarded and appreciated, although it is tough on the folks in charge in the meantime. Thanks again.
