Please welcome Gryphonette as the PuritanBoard's newest moderator. A few Mods suggested her and the idea was unanimously well received. Thanks for your edifying posts on the PB and welcome to our motley crew. You can help Meg keep us men from trashing the place. |

| | | By the way, Anne, I didn't mention this but my Intelligence folks had told me that there were pockets of peasants gathering for a revolt so it was time to roll out another one of their own to give them something to take their mind off their plight.
A speech telling all the Baptists how wonderful it is to be on a Confesional board would be appropriate at this time.... |

Thereafter, if a Mod serves for 30 years, they are entitled to retirement pay representing 75% of their active-duty pay with cost of living increases calculated against the rate of inflation. |
