Ain't easy. It's generally not one thing that makes ya want to throw in the towel, it's the day after day, month after month, year after year of watching over our little BT. Putting out fires, slapping trolls or mean folks, it never goes away. It has to be tended to daily like a garden to keep the weeds out and the frost from killing it.

Cynde, I've often said it is not something I'd volunteer to do.

I'd be glad to come on board - I don't have the free time like I had in past years but I'm there if you need another set of eyes.

I haven't been part of BT very long - for what it's worth I do know being a mod isn't easy, I do appreciate the time and effort, and I know the carp way outweighs the thanks. So just to try and counterbalance a tiny bit of the carp -- THANK YOU MODS!

Cynde, very well put. The Mod part is easy now, seems everyone knows the game plan. My problem was, and is, always trying to make BT something for everyone, evolving, growing. The add thread that Freddie has spent so much time on should be a kick-ass thread for BT. I'm sorry to say that I might have been the one that put the bug in her ear, and will help Freddie in any way she needs.

I cannot say how much BT has become a part of my life, every morning, grabbing a cup of tea and starting my day with all of you. Sharing the good, the bad and ugly at times. BT Meets are really awesome and all the friends I have made over the years here. Priceless. Having a wonderful group of mods who really care about BT, sharing a laugh or two in CC, helping the newbie, you mods are the heart and soul of BT, I mean that. Each of you mods contributes in their own and wonderful way to make BT work like a fine tuned engine. The rest of us are the arms and legs that make BT a wonderful family of folks from all parts of the world.

Remember when our old pal Leo took it upon himself to educate and reprimand Freddie at every turn? I kept thinking "Who would put up with this ?". And she actually tried to be civil to him.

Nice. Well, two of my favorites Jerry - whom I do TRULY relate to and Leo who in weird ways I understand - it is sad to be hyper educated and yet insecure is the CRUX of why BT is of interest to me. In our weird world Leo would still be here - woe is us. Jerry, on the other hand, continues to CARE! I've been stomped by both -- I'll take Jerry ANY DAY!!! Freddie - she's a saint.

I saw it Jim and slapped him privately , he really likes when I do that I took the day off yesterday, {ok I read every post}, but just needed to stay away for the day and recoup.

Freddie and Jerry do spend the most time these days moderating and being actively involved. The auction, and there was a lot of time that went into the ad area...fresh and new ideas are always welcome :-) Thanks to you both for keeping BT "Fresh."
