Regarding Anno's comments on my negative qualities (which I accept completely), I do agree that I am, to an extent, a post whore, as my post count shows ... but the kind of "post whore" I am isn't posting to up the count, which I have done in the past but not in a while ... when I post it's because I feel I have something to say, be it very important, or only slightly, but everything I say has meaning to it. If you talked with me in person you'd realize that I only say something if it truly means something to me, so generally I am very quiet. I tend to lose more of my inhibitions when posting, though, so I'll tend to say more. When I post saying "whoopee 17,000 posts", i'm not truly serious about how great it is to have so many posts ... it's just a part of who I am, in a sense, while not actually meaning anything in and of itself ... it's kind of like what color hair you have, it doesn't really necessarily make any difference, it just is a part of who you are ...
I valiantly tried to create themes for the site in the design team, but due to my complete lack of knowledge in HTML and even how to START designing a web theme (even Ythan's tutorial didn't teach me anything ... I only learn from first-hand experience, words tell me nothing) ...
So if I knew how to do that better I'd be on it right away ...
As for showing complete and utter disrespect to administrative decisions in the past ... I think that's saying it a bit harsh ... I may have definitely disagreed with you, but I don't remember ever acting even slightly revolutionary or truly upset about decisions ... but I respect your view on it since I can't see myself from the outside too well, so I won't debate that issue anymore.
And Papaver, I agree that sanctity is a very important issue, but this should not be a worry with me, because I can't recall ever having been a drama queen in OTD, spreading rumors and "I heard from the grapevine that ..." ... if I were a mod, you could be 100% sure that what is inside the mod forum stays inside.
Mr_Mushrooms, like I said above in regards to Anno, my "post whoredom" is no more than being on the shroomery so much of the day and having so much to say that my post count goes up very high. I don't make multiple posts and do long inane dialogues in threads (anymore, I used to do that). My post count shouldn't count against me unless my threads/posts are truly stupid. If I say something it will always have meaning to it, but the amount of meaning is relative to the issue.
I don't know if you feel I am "promoting myself" into a position as mod ... it has been recommended many times by others, including Xone, liquidsmoke, fortyounces2freedom, etc., and when I got to thinking about it, it sounded like a great idea. So I don't believe there is any narcissism or power-tripping behind my wanting to be a mod. My neutrality on all discussions should be a prime example of why you shouldn't worry about me being "full of myself" or anything along those lines.
I hope I covered all the important points, there have been so many posts since my last one that it is hard to keep track of every one, so if I missed anything please point it out to me and I will address it ...

I started the thread. It was my idea.

DONE! We need another OTD Mod, and since Anno's concerns have been addressed, and my concerns about "trust" have been answered, let's make it happen! 
Here is the "Red Pill." Remember, you can never really go back. I hope you know what you're doing, but welcome to the other side of the "looking glass" Those of us who are stuck here, welcome some fresh meat!
