New Chief of Communications
Commodore Jonathan Lane, 20 year veteran of STARFLEET and longtime member of the USS Angelas has been appointed to replace Peter Christian as the new STARFLEET Chief of Communications. This is a win, in my opinion. Mr. Lane does not fall into my definition of “Sal Pal” so we may actually see some good things done in his wake. Maybe I should pass on a small wishlist:
- Teach Praish the value of proper color separation in the printed CQ
- Make Praish stop creating the online CQ with a black background so it can be printed or read without retinal scarring
- Put articles about Star Trek in a bimonthly newsletter for Star Trek fans
- Print Alex R.’s articles, damn it, so I don’t have to hear him talk about it in #starfleet (kidding, Alex!)

I look forward to seeing issues published under Jon’s watch. I’ve known him for about 19-20 years and have seen many positive examples of his work, such as his Tricorder Readings newsletter published during his tenure on the USS Avenger.

It’s no fun since Santa muzzled the little fucker, is it? He’s got a position in the regime, must not be seen here… unless he just wussed out after we handed him ass with the “attention whore” thing.

Get Schnoor over here; he’s just as obtuse and has even more attitude.

I guess that makes me the Attention Whore of the Month, now (AWOM)…
Can I have 4 ribbons for that?
Oh wait, This isn’t the SFMC!

Although the transliteration isn’t the same, isn’t schnorrer “beggar” in Yiddish?

Gumby, the SFMC award device for AWOM is way too cumbersome. The battery pack needed to power the neon and strobe lights is hard to carry…

Where’s the Krellide power cells when we need em?

I know it could be because of the supposed lack of articles, but quit making the CQ the “USS Thermopylae Show”
