There are other links, too, but it isn't necessarily evident by looking at them...

That would be Rod our Admin...... :toast

Here is kinda how it works;

He is well known to be busy at night
when all other Buckskinners are tucked in tight.

Although seldom seen, he's a busy little Bee
doing good things for folks, like you and me.

He plays with those things called bits and bytes
they get him up early, keep him late at nights.

He doesn't just stop by for a visit every now and then
he's with us every day and night, through the thick, and the thin.

He's often criticized for how things work out without knowing the real why
but those doing the talking should them self give it a try. 

He keeps trying and trying to get everything just right
in hopes of someday he too may sleep at night.

In other words, he does try hard to make the TMA a better place to visit, and hang-out.

I have it from a good source that Hanshi really DOES look like his avatar!  How's that for a whopper?

Speaking of such, I remember in the Navy the biggest lies always started out with "this is no lie...."  :laffing

The biggest liar I ever met always started his lies with "You ain't gonna believe this, but,.... blah blah blah" .
I guess "truth being told" he wasn't actually lyin' though, 'cause I didn't believe anything he said.  :laffing
