1. Now that you are an all powerful mod
Do you find it enjoyable to lock threads, delete posts and banish disruptors? Or does the resposibility that the job entails weigh heavily on you?

3. Not mutually exclusive
The responsibility weighs heavily on me, but I still enjoy locking threads and deleting posts. Sadly, I haven't had the chance to banish anyone yet.

In an effort to get out of the 700 Club, I briefly considered posting useless posts and then deleting them. I think Skinner would be mad at the abuse of power, though.... :evilgrin:

to the 900 foot jesus that threatened to take Oral Roberts away if he didn't raise enough money?

6. It's JAW-no
Thanks for asking!

Skinner initially mispronounced it during the moderator conference call. I think it might've helped if I had capitalized the J, but it didn't occur to me when I signed up.

12. Most pics of him are unflattering
but this one is especially so. :)

In person, I tell people that it rhymes with Bono (BAW-no), but obviously that doesn't really help in print.

10. In honor of your near-induction
into the 700 Club, I give you a morsel of hate directly from the 700 Club site (I already did the research - now that WAS painful):

13. I refuse to inquire
As a comfy member myself, why engage in a meaningless post simply to expedite my departure?

Unless the parting gifts are swell.

27. Ok, I'll ask again...
Has Fermat's Last Theorm been proven?

x^n + y^n = z^n, where n > 2

I got out of the 700 club a few days ago (w/o any help) so good luck!

28. We would have helped...
didn't Andrew Wiles solve that? Enquiring minds want to know:)

29. That's why I want to know
As far as the help part, I didn't mean my join and escape from the 700 club.

I've heard that Wiles' proof hasn't been made.

Watch it, or I'll start asking about the Prime Numbers formula....

36. Two answers for you:
If you reply several times with a broken phrase, then yes, it counts.

And since I am mathmatically deficient, and since I have a 50% chance of answering your theorem question correctly (you DID phrase it as a yes/no question, after all), I'm going to go with my instincts and answer: no. :shrug:
