Thanks Jon!
I appreciate the confidence of getting the vote. This truly means a lot to me. I will endeavor to never let that trust be lost.
Thanks to @MoveMoreCommentsLinksToTop - Larry ... Appreciate all you've done for the site and sticking in there during the lean years.
Thanks to @MarkJohnson - Appreciate your service.
Special thanks to @BobCross - Looks like we're stuck with you ... It's alright. We likes yah! I look forward to working with you and @DucatiKiller. I especially look forward to your tutelage ... I'm going to need it!
Thanks everyone! I'm really touched to see that you didn't launch me into the Sun at the first opportunity. I guess I'm making an acceptable number of mistakes.... ;-)
Well done you three - an excellent moderator team! Good to have the continuity from Bob, with some awesome new blood with technical knowledge in the form of Paulster2 and DucatiKiller.
A bit late, I know, but I want to chime in with the others and say a hearty congratulations to three groups.
I want to say a warm thank-you to Larry and Bob for the work that they have done keeping this thing going. You have devoted many hours over the past 5 1/2 years to keeping this site not only on its feet, but constantly advancing toward the place where we are now. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 ♦, @Bob Cross ♦, @DucatiKiller ♦, I am thrilled to see you as our moderators. I feel quite confident that you will serve the site well, as it continues to move forward. I want to congratulate you on your success, but also in advance on the work that you will put in in the future.
I know I fit in this category, but honestly, as I look at the other candidates, I do not see one any but that I would have loved having them as moderators as well. @MoveMoreCommentsLinkToTop, @Zaid, @NickC, @RoryAlsop, @tlhIngan, you have done an excellent job. You have served the community in many ways already: Keep up the good work!
We have a bright future here at mechanics.stackexchange.com. The fair moon is setting, it is true, on our beta existence, but in its place the sun is rising in beautiful resplendence on a glorious new future as a fully graduated site. We look forward to years of excellent material - questions and answers - that will build the community and enhance the internet world of mechanics.
