I'm nominating Sailor Steve for moderator of the year. He deals with the GT forum fairly and with great humour.

I'll second that nomination!; I suspect though, when he and Jimbuna exchange moderator shift duty on SKYPE there is the 'ceremony of the passing of the QWERTY'! Steve recently apologized twice in one thread, showing himself to be self effacing and a moderate fellow indeed, the benchmark of marshaling the passions of 93,000 :subsim:ing opinionated posters...and he still has time to write songs and make models...GADZOOKS!:Kaleun_Salute:

I want to throw in my vote for Steve the sailor.

He by far yelled at me the most! But I was being an ass, so I deserved it.:D

But he never banned me, always explained what I did wrong, and even allowed me a retort in PMs, when he coulda just told me to go screw!

He has always been good and fair to me, even when I "act up" which I kinda do sometimes.

Sailor Steve, this vote is for you!

Well, I nominate Jim, as it shouldn't be a run away, but my vote is a toss up, meaning, it's for sale...

Ok, nominations will close today in about 12 hours,

so far we have

• Sailor Steve
• Jimbuna
