    Ken's sleepin' in today... perusing the internet in his jammies whilst sipping his coffee, no doubt.

    ;)

    I was just thinking to myself that Vanilla is not going to behave as well without Ken around and it went down like Frazier....

    @KennethSwauger

    I am just now seeing this. Thanks for everything over the years. I can definitely relate to wanting to step away from a management role.

    I am glad you will still be around...and hopefully provide some mentorship for the incoming moderator(s).

    Mentorship ? From Ken ?

    Ken has gone ghost protocol, changed his address, his name, passports, sporting a beard and sunglasses now. The only mentorship the new mod will have is when they move into Ken's office and find...

    A gallon sized jug of Tums on the desk.
    First drawer has a half drunk bottle of Jack.
    Computer has John Wick as the screen saver
    Second drawer is full of darts

    close the office door and a picture of F1nut appears , with 16 darts already stuck in him. Under his picture is probably many of us.

    That's about all the mentorship needed anyway. :)

    Ken had a "most wanted" wall in his office, and according to him, I was public enemy #1 :s:p

    No worries. In the Internet age, management training is mostly done remotely anyway.
