Dear Susan,

Thanks for saying something positive.

A point of clarification, though. I may be "worlds' (sic) most uptight, control-freak moderator" and even a site Nazi, but I am not a self proclaimed anything. In the thread on the new forum about where one's moniker comes from, I explain how I came to have my "title."

As for what you do and don't consider out of the norm, I guess there's just no accounting for a person's standards. However much I might dislike you, I will always keep this to myself. Unlike you.

By the way, have you ever heard of Godwin's Law?
