We wanted to have a go-to person (known as a moderator) to keep things high and tight.  You know him as "Dusty53" ... he's can be called Ronnie Miller by *other* folks. He's been on Stovebolt for almost ten years and has been a huge help in many of the Tech forums. His jacket shows him to be very knowledgeable and *mission focused* ... a Marine, what else do we need to say! Ooo-rah!  (He brings in a new emogie!) John says, "... he gets demoted from Member to Moderator (with all the duties, miseries, hardwork, long hours, low pay, abuse and lack of appreciation thereunto pertaining)!"  (Another new emogie) I say: "He gets an Avatar and a key to the what a mess hall" (the Moderator Forum). Dusty, the Stovebolt Staff are grateful for your help in here. We know the Collective will be also. We continue to see great things ahead.
