Ok, I have been made moderator. Already have three reports to review and have to really pay attention to the sub. This is going to be fun.

So a little about myself and my qualifications. I have none. I'm undiagnosed high functioning / asbergers / etc. I am a 44 year old Network Engineer that lives in the Midwest with my brilliant wife and six cats.

Wish me luck!

Welp

Good luck to you

Side note: I wouldn't personally use the word Asbergers since he was involved with the murder of hundreds (if not thousands) of children.
