Announcement: new moderator

Ha! Thought that might get your attention.
Don't go away. Now that you're here, I'd like to propose myself for the moderator's vacancy.
I know KN and LD have the final say, but a review by a jury of my peers is a useful way for them to realise that I'm the man for the job. If you agree, then flood them with PMs so that the server will grind to a halt until they appoint me.

I'm new to this board...been here a week, so it won't take me long to summarise my qualifications for this job...

My qualifications:
* I know nothing about the delicate interaction of the personalities on this board and their politics.
* I talk far more than I dive.
* I could drink Guinness for the Irish international boozing squad.
* I'm nearly clinically obese after the enforced winter diving lay-off.
* I can empty an air tank in less than the time it takes me to hit the bottom in a 20-metre dive.
* I HATE jump entries from piers at low tide.
* I find snorkelling b-o-o-o-o-o-o-ring!
* All the DIR vs DIW debates send me to sleep.
* Gung-ho tech divers who act like they're in the military and somebody's life depends on the amount of gear hanging from their D-rings, clips, hoses, strobes, slates, lights, and computers make me froth at the mouth.

To summarise: I'd make a fantastic moderator. Come on guys, whaddya think?

Not a chance IMO. I would have voted for you but can't, since in reviewing your post, i see you drink that motor-oil stuff. Now i'm not defending American swills, most are truely bad, but how can you drink that stuff?

Gedunk, please tell me you kid! Surely, you must! Guinness is the ambrosia sent to us by the gods! The stuff is heavenly! Have you ever had a fresh, properly poured pint? A treasure that is next to impossible to obtain in the US, mind you.

A pound of what?

How many stones do you wear on your weightbelt?

And how do you spend a penny?

LOL!

Delicate like a sledgehammer, more like.

Hmm - the Irishdiver campaign trail - has a nice ring to it. Mandatory rallies featuring a charter member of the Irish international boozing squad at all NDI chapter locations.

Taking applications for a campaign manager?

Until I tried JJ Murphy's and now I like the Murphy's better...

In the middle ages, English pennies were made of silver. For large transactions, instead of counting all those pennies, they were weighed. A pound of those silver pennies was a pound. (BTW, there has never been a US penny. What we in the US commonly call a penny is actually a cent.)

Why do folks think there is a "vacancy" in the moderator ranks? There is no designated number of moderators. If KN & LD decide they want more moderators, they'll ask folks to serve. If they don't, they won't. They may decide there's too many of us and thin the ranks. They are pretty busy right now, so I suspect (I do not know) this is not high on their list of things to do.

Murphy's is allright. Probably #2 on my list of Irish brews. Kilkenny's probably #3, even though it's red.

Somewhere in the bar-hopping that denegrated into a drunken stupor for my birthday, we found ourselves in an Irish pub in Boston's North End... that had _real_ guiness. Ahh it was pure joy!

Dude, if you _ever_ end up in Dublin, Don't order a Murphys, or you might find yourself floating in the river after a s**tkicking... First Murphy's I ordered, a kind irish gent came over and removed it from my mistaken possession and ordered me a proper beverage.

They are really that particular about it? Why the hatred of Murphy's??
