Lol, the first line in your message! For a moment I was believing you were talking serious. Scared and made me laugh a lot after the reality came up.

No!! No joking allowed!! This is your big bad owner, and no joking I tell you, no joking allowed!!

 

Seriously, I generally run a pretty loose ship, and believe that many things sort themselves out, that everyone is an adult, and until they prove me otherwise, I assume that the more hands-off I am, the better unless something comes up that requires me to step in. My job, as I see it, is to serve you and the community. I will be looking for a moderator with the same mindset, and joking will certainly not be disallowed.

 

As for off-topic messages, I have always said that off-topic messages, in a small quantity, are helpful to lists and list members, but if threads go on for days, or if a member continually posts off-topic messages, that at some point has to end for the sanity of the thousand members we have on this list.

 

Thanks as always for each of your contributions to jokes!
