   Best of luck in your new endeavor. Hope it works out for you.

   And don't worry - We're not bitter because you ditched us as soon as a better offer came along.

   We won't hold it against ya.

   Just don't turn yer back on any of us......................(-:

   Congratulations on the promotion Brian.  I'm sure the way you handled yourself here must have had something to do with you being picked outta the crown for this very important position.

   Now you should be able to get a key to the storeroom and rifle some of those cool promo gifts they've got stashed.  Already got a hat, think you could find an XL t-shirt?  Thanks

   Best of luck.

   Howdy Sher'f, Hope you got yer teflon vest. Mebbe yo'll last longer than the last dude, ya rekkon?

   Enywhoos, welcome ,and remember, your opinion is valued in matters about acceptablity. I have had posts deleted and still don't know why, possibly you can replace a deleted post with the reasons why. I for one would appreciate it so I can learn the finer nunces of Taunton sensiblities.

    Hey----anybody ever keep track of how many of these guys we have run off? Has breaktime had more moderators or more formats? Can we count that high?

   Hey Ron,

   "tighten your chin strap its gonna be a rough road and a tough act to follow..:>)"

   This guy is definitely equal to the task. <G>

   Jim came out to photograph my jobsite for an article a while back. I liked him immediately. He's first-rate in every regard . . but I guess we'd expect nothing less from Taunton.

   Somehow he wasn't on my jobsite two hours and we found ourselves practicing jab/slip/bob-weave/shovel hook combinations in the client's yard.

   Don't ask me how we got on to that, I have no idea. But if you ever want to write, Jim is great to work with, and a really fun guy to hang out with. I suspect Breaktime will be better for his presence, as well.

   I agree. My wife and I had lunch with Jim last Thursday. Jim is a very nice guy, and surely doesn't deserve being the moderator on Breaktime. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

   Good luck, Jim.

   Brian

   Thanks for putting up with all my crotchety tirades without deleting my drivel. Good luck in the future. I look forward to pushing the envelope of civility with the next moderator. I try to be good but sometimes I can't help it.

   Hey Brian,  I suppose now that we gave you all of our great ideas, you are going to be put in charge of the new magazine, Fine Sheetrock Screwing, or some such thing.  We should have known you needed all that info for something more important than us.   Good  luck,  and welcome the new dude.
