    Does this mean no fraternizing with the big dog?

    John, I guess there is safety in numbers! The more watchers out there the better, I guess. Like everyone else has said do we have to post with the proper legaleze to get our stuff on now?

    Oh and I would definitly vote for you to be senator, congressman or even the big job on the hill! Maybe I could be the cheif of foreign wood affairs and collect timber from all over the world!!!

    Congrats my friend, (Go easy on me, I have a tender heart!)

    "Holy Cow! A lawyer for a moderator! No more lawyer jokes...."

    How many lawyers does it take to moderate an online wood turning forum?

    How many forum moderators does it take to file a lawsuit?

    Congrats and thanks.

    It seems that everyone thus far has missed one very important question... Who's getting billed for the hours Keeton spends moderating?

    We have convinced John he can write his time off as volunteer work assisting criminally insane turners..........

    Joe, not much in the way of pay, but I do understand there is a 150% match on the 401K, a company hunting lodge in the Rockies, a beach condo, and free health care....I just need to find the information on those.....still looking.....I know it is here somewhere.......

    David, here is my philosophy on that. I make my living thinking. If I am awake, I am thinking. Thus, if I am awake, I am working...... now, let's see - who gets billed for that little gem.....!!?!?!?

    Ken, actually it would be more of a charitable cause helping some of the more raucous moderators....or, at least one, in particular!!

    Well said, Kurt. I've owned a lathe 40 plus years, then like David D, about 8 weeks ago I got too close to the edge and fell in. One of the reasons for this was the posting of pictures by a "former" white collar worker named John Keaton. I've been making a living with my hands since I was a kid, too long a time. Turners Forum is teaching me how that big green thing (older var. speed Powermatic) is meant to be used. John has shown us all what true passion is and how dangerous it can be. Now that I've slipped, it feels so good it must be illegal. Gotta be. As said before, congratulations counselor/lathe master/moderator, I think.

    Wow, John. Going from "just turning table legs" to Moderator in less than a year, that's like going from law student directly to the Supreme Court. Congrats, John!

    Congratulations John!

    I hope moderating is as much fun as reading and posting on this site.
