Ole is in no way in charge of anything. He's just eyes and ears. And no, you may not secede. If you try. I will invade. Something. Do you have a place to invade? No. I'm not going to invade Tulsa. Move to Tampa or something worthwhile invading.

Thanks for taking on a difficult and thankless job.
Sincerely appreciated,

Congrats. I promise to be good. Okay, well, I promise not to be too bad. Okay, well, I promise to at least try not to be any more obnoxious.

Ole, you've nurtured this board for as long as I've been on it, and before that. You're a stand-up guy, with much knowledge about this topic, you treat people with respect, and I'm glad you have the new rank. (So...like, how much extra a week do you get now?) Never mind! That was outta line. Speaking of which, I promise to toe the line to the best of my ability, and not use the term "gomer" again when referring to any members of this board. I do, however, have a list of other thinly disguised derogatory terms I am fond of, and will submit it to you for your approval, post-haste. (kidding) Actually "gomer" is quite benign, considering the virtual plethora of other disparaging terms in my vocab, but nevertheless I should not have used the term in the context in which it was used. Congratulations on your promotion, Ole.
Terry
