New moderator: Kirk Gittings

[chris_4622]

Thanks, Kirk. And to Tuan for this site and the other moderators for making this a great place to learn and share.

I will try my best. If you have questions about any of my actions or lack thereof, email me.

This site has been one of the most useful, and most civil, photography sites for a very long time. I thank Q-T for getting it started, and keeping it going all these years. The moderators have been splendid. Kirk, along with all the others, I appreciate your taking this on. I know of no one better qualified.

That's a very generous offer, Kirk, and I just hope all here appreciate what you've taken on in that regard! I don't think anyone understands the degree of pressure that's brought to bear on you all nearly every day if they haven't been a Moderator (or lived with one -- I'll be glad to host the first support group meeting at my house!). You're quite entitled to the thanks and congratulations you're getting here.

So, thanks for lending your judgment and reason to this effort; it's really testimony to the importance of the forum that you and the other mods volunteer to go through what you do.

Yes Kirk is the right man for the job. Thanks for your work!

I'll be there - and I have a feeling my wife would like a support group for moderator's spouses!

I think we'll all need a serious course of single-malt group therapy.

Well, I've heard worse ideas than getting all the mods together from the "sister" forums to compare notes... though I don't see it happening without the ladies' auxiliary and SOME kind of "spirits" on hand.

Well I don't think that you'd even need moderators if you just eliminated using George Carlin's "7-words" when referring to other posters. In fact, considering the subject matter of the forum, you could probably even allow "tits" without too much controversy.
God bless you George Carlin -- RIP.

[Eric Biggerstaff]

Great choice!

Thanks for taking this on Kirk.
