OT/ I have no idea when AA and Shack swapped off, though Shack was one of the co-folk on the thread from day one, I believe. AA left for business reasons, as they say, but as you know, still lurks here (and we'd all say doesn't post enough). The thread is still the best one around for me, so the passing of the guard isn't one of those events that's burned in my mind at all. Frankly, I gotta say I don't know why it would matter when it happened. The point is... it happened, and this is today's thread. I like it here, and that's largely due to Shack's ability to allow discussion but NOT allow stupidity <g>. Seriously, I would never want to moderate a thread and, while we all agree we can do a better job here, I think when push comes to shove we do just fine. Longwindedly, the freep

Mc, $.02 from a long time lurker.... Shack actually started the thread, AA took over the role of teacher and mentor by answering the questions of the novice e-wavers, asking that people bone up on their waves so that counts would be consistent with the rules, reminding people to have an alternate count, reminding people to manage their greed, etc. Shack has always been the moderator and has done a damn fine job over the years. Classic TA and sentiment has always been accepted and continuous FA could get you banned. In the early days (first year or two, or three?) the thread was a bit of a e-wave "purists" site - post a chart and a count so everyone could be on the same page. That's probably what Phoenix thinks is missing.
