[brewmaster15]

Hi all,
I am really pleased to announce that we have a new Moderator joining us at SimplyDiscus. Pat Husband, Aka Second Hand Pat has just been made a moderator of the forum. She will be working with me, Paul, and our fellow Mods and admins with the day to day running of the forum. I think she will make an excellent Moderator here and I am really glad to have her with us in this capacity. This role is not any easy one for any moderator, especially when a problem post or thread occurs. Please understand and respect that she has full authority to mediate any problems that may arise and enforce any rules or policies we have in place as do all of our moderators here.

Welcome aboard Pat! and thanks for wanting to help us out here.
