From my 2016 moderator election campaign:
He's quick to those calls of distress;
Turn failed fixes into success:
"Welcome to the site"
And "Check Engine Light?"
You'd think they're his email address!He conferred on The Pitstop its name;
Fuel trims are his number one game;
With Close Vote Café
He helped keep at bay
Wild site stats - and now they're so tame!They call him Unflappable Zaid,
Petrol-head of the finest grade.
With youth on his side,
He'll take in his stride,
Mod duties. (Without getting paid!)
