    I hope you're ready to be the only poster until the community catches on, and then that you're ready to play moderator. best of luck

    Thanks! This was a spur of the moment decision, but I have thought about moderating a comm for a while. This seems like a good candidate to start with as I have a decades-long back catalogue of tech nonsense to draw from, I'll probably sit down an write out a list sometime this week and plan some posts out. At one post a day I bet I could keep it going myself for a few months, before I take into account the eternal firehose of techbrobabble I drink from every day lol.
