As Quinn said, there'll be a video shortly. My internet speeds been slowed to 64k so uploading is taking longer than anticipated.
I hope to have a link to it within the half-hour.
Time to break out the sparkling chamomile ice-tea!
Happy Birthday to Dhamma Wheel!!!
kind regards

Hello and happy birthday from Laurel, Maryland! I'm a bit past the 6:40 pm EST deadline, but cheers anyway!
And thank you all for the fruitful discussions -- I've learned so much here. May this community continue to flourish in 2010 and beyond.

Re: Dhamma Wheel members online "bomb"
Sorry I couldn't make it to the member bomb, had work.
Anyway thank you David and Retro, so very very much for all that you have done for us, I really mean it. Thank you Ven. Dhammanando, Ben and Tilt Billings for all your hard work in maintaining DW as a great place for discussion of the Dhamma. Thank you to all the members whom have helped to deepen my understanding of the Buddha Dhamma.
Truely I am indebted to you all for you kindness and compassion, your friendliness and you wisdom. Wherever I go in life (and I suspect for a long time it will be nowhere near a computer) I will carry these fond memories with me.
May we all realize the Dhamma
May Dhamma wheel continue to flourish

p.s. Great video Ben!
