In summary, Kurdt has retired from his role as PF Mentor after almost 3 years of dedicated service. He will now be enjoying the luxurious amenities of the PF retirement home. Micromass has been promoted to PF Mentor and is a well-deserved candidate due to his dedication to the community. Congratulations and welcome to the team, Micromass! Everyone expresses their gratitude and well wishes to Kurdt and excitement for Micromass. There is also some playful banter and jokes among the members.

Big thanks to Kurdt who has served PF well in his almost 3 years as PF Mentor. Kurdt will now gracefully enter the lavish PF retirement home decked with sauna, swimming pool, fitness gym, tennis court, beach side cabanas, 9 hole golf course, movie theater and of course a state of the art science lab. All jokes aside, thanks!

On a brighter note, we are promoting Micromass to PF Mentor. No surprises here as Micromass for a long time has shown dedication to the community in many forms! Welcome! Congrats!

Borek: were you handcuffed?
Andre: well it was 1957
Andre: I guess so
Kurdt: I was naughty in nursery once and was made to do a 100 piece puzzle as a punishment and finished it and got to watch TV with the rest of the kids
Andre: very good
turbo: A bigger older kid pushed me down and I got up and jumped on him and knocked him over. He hit his head on a rock (several times) and cried.
Kurdt: It was supposed to occupy the naughty kids for the rest of the day
Andre: lol
lisab: too funny
Andre: how did we get here?
Kurdt: chicken pox

The good old days. :smile:

May we all have many more. :biggrin:

How much do mentors get paid. :biggrin:

Jokes aside*, congrats micromass! Your advice has been some of my favorite on the forum, and you've helped me out a lot. Keep up the great advice!

*Unless they do, I would feel silly haha.

!"#¤% yet again. Now we mentors have to think about who is to fill the multiple gaps that this promotion has created in our candidates lists.

Several times what you get paid as a regular member. Here's the PF salary formula: Denote the base salary paid to all regular members as $B. Homework helpers get paid $B×100; SAs, another factor of 100; mentors, yet another factor of 100. Multiply those factors and, yep, we mentors are paid a million times the puny salary that you receive (zero is an admittedly tiny salary by anyone's scale). The luxury life of a mentor is quite fantastic!

Erm...D H perhaps this isn't the best time to tell you that the rest of us get paid $10 per post. I thought you did too :blushing: awkward.
