Neither of these are my posts; but again, I'm flattered that someone – probably the usual suspect, with the distinctive IP – took the trouble.

So then, MrP, are you a moderator?

slang is not poor language
It's like spice that imparts a flavour to it
Too much of such spice is as good as too little, so to say

A revealing non sequitur; with distinctive phrasing.

Refer to Josh Lalonde's thread on "Pos and friends" for the IP.

Not here, but I would love to be. I do have a tendency to moderate where I'm not asked to - a personal problem that I have to correct.

Please ignore the impersonator above.
