    Default AOS Team Announcement - New Moderator Chris (The Grand Wazoo)

    I'd like to formally announce that Chris, aka The Grand Wazoo is joining the AOS moderation team, as of today...

    Chris has been an extremely active and enthusiastic member of the Art Of Sound since early May 2008... indeed he joined a couple of weeks before me! And despite being behind some of the most amusing posts on AOS, he's still yet to use any form of smiley ever. lol.

    I'm sure you'll all join me in congratulating Chris on his new appointment.

    Posted in Blank Canvas to allow member replies. Will be moved to The Noticeboard later.

    The team (and AoS) will no doubt benefit from your unique and erudite insights.

    Come and see me later to get measured up for your uniform in preparation for the initiation ceremony
