Re: Do you ever feel embarrased about collecting autographs?

Sort of.

It's not something I announce, but not something I deny either. Though, I could probably say that about a number of my hobbies.

Re: Moderators and trainee moderators

And, as admin does probably half of the contest prize draw, the other half is done by moderators and global moderators who need to add people to the draw. Next time you are on the Feedback forum, look for someone that's not admin who is adding someone to the draw. ;-) Yes, I do realize the admin is...

Re: Moderators and trainee moderators

1. Makes sense. I haven't seen below-moderators ranks in forums in a very long time. 2. It doesn't look like there are hundreds of feedback topics a day, in fact, it doesn't even look like there are a hundred a day. And it looks like the admin does the majority of the "added to prize draw"...

Moderators and trainee moderators

I've been confused about this for some time...

1. What is a "trainee moderator"?

2. Why does there seem to be hundreds of moderators and trainee moderators? I've seen much bigger forums that are maintained by far fewer moderators. Is it simply a meaningless rank thing here?

Re: Does the U.S. Postal Service still make or use IRCs?

I think it's up to each post office whether or not they carry IRCs, but the main post office in an area should always have them.

Re: Spammers: BEWARE

I'd encourage the use of CAPTCHA as well, it's simply too annoying for a human spammer.

Re: Anyone else a bit embarrassed of their own handwriting?

It's not so much that my handwriting is unreadable, but rather it looks like the work of a 3rd grader. But I guess that's what ten years does to you. I suppose the more I keep writing, the less kindergartenly it should become. Ironically, I tried scribbling in cursive, and it actually looks better. ...

Anyone else a bit embarrassed of their own handwriting?

I just got back into autograph collecting, and I've been writing a lot of LORs lately... and I'm realizing how horrendous my own handwriting is! All my a's look like o's, and when I try to correct them, they start looking like q's.. everything's slanting diagonally, some letters are set higher or wi...

Re: If you could meet a athlete in person who would it be??

Continuing the gymnast trend, I'd say Ksenia Semenova.

I'm really considering taking a trip to London for the next Olympics, so it may actually happen.. in 3 years.
