Not in the least. Sorry guys! I got us in twuble...

There's no such thing as a valid excuse. I'll sign up for that wrist-rapping.

Ah! That's what that's for;) I setup an address to catch all that noise. If I am ever unable to get into the moderator interface again, I'll look here. I'm still new to this game, my apologies. 

Out of curiosity, have you already nuked the queue? I can check to see if there's anything legit using that address if you haven't blown it out already.

This looks like an excuse. There aren't valid ones. I offer them from time to time as explanations, but I don't expect the explanation to excuse my failure. 

It's just "this is what happened" in debrief. Dig it? I stay culpable, even with explanation.

Which is again much appreciated. I know you want to release the box-admin role and get on with it, so I'm bummed that I had to bother you.
