    I like John, he seems like an honest and upfront kind of guy... If this is what he wants then I am happy for him..

    I'd hope it's what he wants Karl. It'd be pretty interesting if the internet and Steve Schlumpf have powers so strong, so powerful, that Steve could actually make you a mod against your own will

    John is a great guy, worked with him a few times and gone back and forth via email. Always a pleasure, always has great input and something to say.

    Congrats John!

    I guess it only makes sense. I mean, if he's not turning, then he's in here.
    Does John even know what the other forums of Sawmill Creek look like any more? For that matter, does he even know what the inside of a court room looks like any more?
    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

    I only expect trouble to come from this...


    Good to have you as a MOD. It can be challenging at times. But it is always a treat to be behind the scene. Good luck and enjoy the new controls.

    John Keeton??? John Keeton?? Who the heck is John Keeton?

    Oh ya, he's that one guy who asked a question a while back about buying a Harbor Freight lathe to do some table legs, if remember right. Said something about having no interest in bowls or hollowforms. Just needed something to enhance his flatwork (sorry for cursing) projects. Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, can we trust this man, this kind and genteel southern lawyer that has tricked us into believing that we can turn a table leg into a work of art. Tricked us into thinking that a person can jump from "how do I turn this thing on?" to "I've been juried into an art gallery" in what, something like 6 months! This guy is exactly the why turning is such a "vortex". If we let a guy like this go so far as becoming a "moderator", what's next. This is a slippery slope! We're creating a situation that can only result in drawing more and more defenseless people into the vortex.

    But on the other hand, John, maybe if you have to spend more time "moderating" and less time turning, maybe the rest of us can catch up a little.

    Congratulations John! You'll do a fine job I'm sure.
