Three things:
1) I'm glad you didn't take it the wrong way
2) Don't worry, I promise I will never abuse
anyone here. But be aware that sometimes I have to edit posts or signatures in order to keep the boards enjoyable for everyone, which I will do. I won't hesitate to delete several full lines of smileys, for example. And I will try to be nice about it for as long as I have the patience. If I'm harsh about it, I am not singling anybody out here.
At the very least, if I do change someone's signature "because I feel like it" (rather than because I have to,) it will NOT be to make someone the butt of a joke, or to humiliate them. I will not tolerate that sort of behavior of any regular user, either. I'm not going to be the kind of moderator who thinks he can pick on his users. I have a general rule that I apply to everyone when I moderate: don't be a jerk, and I have to apply that to myself first and foremost in order to be able to moderate.
3) You waited 13 minutes between private messaging me and posting this thread. I don't mean to be antagonistic, but give us a little more time to respond than 13 minutes. (I wrote you back in 12, btw. Check your inbox and your sentbox, you can see.)
Cheers!
