[:P]
i just feel uncomfortable with so many posts [:I]

but this is no big deal, no worries. i just checked snitz and it seems only the admin can change this setting. not a priority, martin.

Alex, that's the pittiest excuse I have ever heard. We all know you're a frequent poster, why not stand for it ;-)

Chocolate is cheaper than therapy and you don't need an appointment.

I can't find a way to do it. You might be interested to look at http://forum.snitz.com/, the site for this forum. Tells you lots of useful stuff anyway.

would it make sense to turn the post count off for moderators? i'm racking up a few just by moving things around.

Meanwhile ... back on topic ...

As punishment I've 'volunteered' you all so that each forum has two moderators. I've tried to go along with your requests and fill in the gaps where I think they might relate to your interests. Some of the smaller ones are more 'technical' - they might not be your speciality but you can still stop abuse, swearing and other rudeness! Masur, I brought you in for shows and events and as a bonus you got Chocolate Week (UK).

Also I've tried to keep out of the ones where I might be seen to have a vested interest, like 'seventypercent.com reviews'.

If anyone wants to do some swapping, let me know. Hopefully it should not be too much work (or as much as you want) - I don't mind if it's still fairly free.

Nothing wrong with being a hybrid. I happen to love Trinitario chocolate [:D] I wonder what vikings would have thought of chocolate if they ever tasted it.

There are as many dragons in Scandinavia as cocoa plantations ...

Cross-breeding chocolate beans is one thing, but I don't know about you hybrid guys ;-) Now listen to the full throttle viking.

Yeah, my family is German, and I'm the only American (along with my brother) in the family, so I guess some of that German humor has carried over into me hehe. I like to think of myself as being more German than American, simply because of how similar I am to my mother.

i figure you r like me and like to kid around a lot. i'm just a bit careful sometimes because i've accidentally stepped on toes before. strange thing humor. being german-american among germans or americans makes for fascinating misunderstandings sometimes...

i dig your suggestion, dude ;-)

Oh, I was only kidding alex, and I know you are too [:D] Although there's one thing you should know: never take me seriously (except for when it comes to chocolate) hehe. Those forums interest me as well, but Member Reviews does too. I'm happy with whatever I get, just as long as I get some work to do and not sitting here watching you guys busting your butts doing all the moderating hehe. Can I make a suggestion? Why don't we all moderate all forums as we see fit?

My time is limited but If You need an additional moderator I can take care of "Chocolate shows, salons and events". I'm already trying to keep myself updated on forthcoming chocolate events, mainly in Europe.
