If Drover, Avengerfire, or IrishTom became mods they might have to tone it down a bit... That would be disasterous for the entertainment value of this forum.
Very true!

I doubt they'd let me be a mod anyway. I have so many infractions it's a miracle I'm still here.

I generally agree with this. Irishtom is pretty good too.

I wonder how that works with infractions, how many can one get and still be allowed to post. I only ever got one infraction. It was when I first signed on and I got into a rather childish argument with a certifiably loony racist and raging homophobe who is no longer here.

What is an infraction? How do I know if I got one? does this has anything to do with the 'Report this post' button?

I think its me. I've worked north and south; Evanston, Schaumburg and East Chicago. I've lived north and south. Who else here can say that?

I'll give a nod to Drover, LK, Chet (mostly suburbs -- a touch of BS in the city), and Manigault. Avenger maybe everywhere other than the south side. IrishTom for the way things were 40 years ago.

The three I picked also tend to be on city-data all the time.
