Please wish Kelly and Marvin luck in their new roles and Viola all the best with the real life thing.

Indeed, and thank you to all who keep the Ship afloat. I, for one appreciate it greatly.

Thanks Viola for all the hard work.

As for the new Admins, which is worst, the death ray or the axe. Time to hide, let me know when it's safe enough to come out from behind the sofa.

What is wrong with the lot of you? Do you sit outside of courts congratulating the newly convicted on their sentences?
As for you, Viola, run! Change your identity and run!

See, why is it the clear-sighted ones always have to sneak on to these threads?

On the other hand, my first thought when I was asked was that some sort of institutionalized masochism had set in.

Thank you, Cassandra. Uh, Lilbuddha. And thanks, everyone. And high five, Marv!

(Smart assery aside, I am honored to have been asked and look forward to serving the Ship in a different way.)

I think Viola was an admin when I signed on the Ship. I generally try to behave well enough that I don't see much of the admins, but I've read enough of her judgments to realize she was very even-handed. I trust she will enjoy her retirement.

As for the new admins, I would be hard pressed to think of two people as passionate about these boards as Kelly and Marvin. Congratulations and condolences to both of them.

Thanks, Viola, for all you have done for the Ship to keep her sailing.

And Marvin and Kelly? Good luck, you guys.

Seriously: good choices! Or, seriously good choices.

I've been host or admin on these 'ere boards since just after their current incarnation, and I've made a stack of brilliant friends and learned a lot about human nature!

But - for those of you who are saying 'Viola who?', the last year has been rather more taken up with family commitments of various types, and I can't think of two better people than Kelly & Marvin to help steer this fabulous ship.

Be good!

Take care, Viola. You are appreciated.

And indeed glad of our new admins.

Many thanks Viola, you have navigated the Ship through fair weather and foul and earned the right to an honorary command. Oh, and don't forget to post, now and again.

Best wishes to Kelly Alves and Marvin the Martian. Is nobody safe any more?

The ship is actually steered? Wow.

Congratulations, Viola - I think you may have been the person who first welcomed me aboard.

Kelly and Marvin - I'd take my hat off to you both, if I had a hat.

If I manage to find enough time in between all the Big Important Stuff I'm now having to do behind the scenes (hey, that brandy ain't gonna drink itself), I'll certainly pop in

I can only assume that this is a step in a diabolical plan to take over the world. I mean, what other reason could Kelly and Marvin have to do this? (Just for my information, how much time do we have left?)

Congratulations!
