New Sherriff in Town

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>Before I get too much credit for the changes today, I want to announce that there is a new moderator for the board. I'm pleased to say that Bill Cornell will be taking over the duties effective immediately.<BR><BR>I think it's time for some new blood, as this will help take the board in a new and better direction. The board is in good shape right now, with the number of page views at an all time high, and the current level of controversy low. Hence, the time is right for a changeover.<BR><BR>I believe that a lot of you know Bill, and I have no doubt that he will do a wonderful job. I hope that everybody extends to Bill the same courtesies that they have to me for the past 2 1/2 years.<BR><BR>It's been a slice.<BR><BR><BR>Elliot

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>I only agreed to hand over the reins, if Bill would make the changes I had promised so many times. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Also, I think he mentioned something about "Moderator Emeritus", but Bill seems to have forgotten about that now that he's in charge. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><BR><BR>Thanks to everybody for their kind words.

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>E...just curious if this transition of power is conditional until final approval of the player's union and Bud Seilig....rumor has it that "THE PLAYER TO BE NAMED LATER" is BENTON....?
