I'd like to post an official welcome to our newest moderator - Marc Ridgeway - who will be taking over the sword training areas until/or if our friend Adam Sharp gets back. Marc has been a great contributor to both this forum and the sword community in general and it is great to have him officially on board with SBG. I know that he will do a great job of neturally moderatoring any disputes that might crop up in the sword training area (because as we all know the inevitable 'my Samurai is better than your knight - no he isn't, yes he is' threads that pop up from time to time can get pretty silly)... Welcome aboard Marc.

Hey, I'd like to thank everyone here for their well wishes and support.Let me make it clear I in no way wish to supplant Adam, but am happy to serve in his absence, and will gladly defer upon his much hoped for return. I tend to not publicly discuss training issues or inter-ryu /inter-discipline politics or pros and cons... though i have been known to get sucked into some knight vs samurai threads ... so don't expect to see me active much in the area . I'll be more lurking on the threads waiting to give a gentle nudge should the topic start to stray... which I'm sure it won't because with our training comes discipline and and humility , right guys? Cris, the paycheck is just to be able to give back to the community that gives so much... quite nice compensation indeed Now, I'm up very late and typing in bed next to my lovely Missus with whom I'm supposed to be cuddling , and best sign off before I get moderated myself Thank you all for your kindness...

Yeah, Marc's totally cool. He deserved this position as much as anyone, and probably more, lol. ;D Great job, Marc, and good luck arguing that your Samurai is better than my knight! ;D (actually, I'm nuetral; I like both. But still...) +1, Paul, for a GREAT choice!

Marc? Why on earth Marc? I mean come on - he's got poor posture and his mug is one of the ugliest I've seen yet! Why not mparish or debbie? At least they're easy on the eyes! LOL
Seriously though I couldn't have though of a better guy to make a moderator. Congrats to you Marc on being a moderator!
