So you don’t buy into the “All mods are one” conspiracy theory? It could be that Mod 42 was merely a dormant personality of The moderator, which recently emerged. Or 72, who always has enough time on his hands to fix commas, finally picked up the Guide and became a fan overnight. Or it could be that someone who was begging for a mod job in the other thread just got their wish. You can’t really know.
BTW, mod, I believe that the Babel fish was named AFTER Babel was destroyed, hence its name.
