i take it that just about the entire forum, with the exception of GB, recognises this reference from Seinfeld, that has become part of the vernacular over recent years?

I think the mods just might be a little smarter than you give them credit for and on to your little games.

Tone it down, be nice and you will find you will get the same in return.
Be a butthead, and you reap what you sow.
The new Mods will be just fine. I am pretty sure I know who they all are.
I am sure Russ & Chris don't report to you on who sends them feedback...ROFLMAO....
