@Neo This all happened at 4am on a Saturday morning for me, and as much as I love this community, it isn't getting me out of bed at 4am on my day off! :p
We have been consistently hitting HNQ almost every day since I became mod, which just means more stuff to cleanup ... and then face the brickbats of users who are annoyed their comments got cleaned up.
My admiration for Monica's moderation skills has suddenly grown thousandfold over the past week. She has been doing this for over 5 years now, in addition to having to deal with (now reformed) trolls like me. :P
Right, that too. I am just amazed at how someone can consistently maintain that level of energy and patience for so long. I hope I will be like her some day. I have a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go though. :)
I enjoy being a member of this community though, mod or not. People here are (mostly) fun, and there usually isn't prolonged obnoxiousness, unlike on certain "technical" stacks.
Pets would also be quite suitable for me. Unfortunately, I don't have much to contribute there, other than unconditional love, which is not suitable for Q&A format. ;)
