    I've never understood it, why spend all sorts of time for no pay when all you ever get in return are people nitpicking your actions and complaining?

    because you don't have to do anything to piss off certain people, and that is always fun.

    It's the royal road to power. Everyone in the world who ascends the hierarchy is a former high school informer.

    You gotta start at the bottom.

    Also, why be dicks to mods?

    I really don't get this either. The mods are just trying to help the community, why do certain posters always drop turds on them (except SPD, that makes sense).

    Ask NOT what this message board can do for you, but what you can do for this message board.

    Most of us have belonged to forums that were poorly moderated. A shitty or power hungry mod can destroy a forum.

    I mod because I think I do it a little differently and a little better.

    I had no idea Internet message boards were around in the days of Marilyn Monroe.

    So much for Al Gore's claim that he invented the Internet. Apparently, it came way before his time.

    Well, he invented it a long time ago. How do you think he became a billionaire?
