Congratulations Cooran, you're a valuable addition to the management team!

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Re: New Global Moderator.... Cooran!
And when the Administrator had set the Dhamma Wheel Announcement of the First Female Global Moderator in motion, the Discovering Theravada devas cried out:
"On the Internet Loka, the Administrator has set in motion the unexcelled Dhamma Wheel's First Female Global Moderator that cannot be stopped by the trolls or spambots, deva, Mara or God or anyone in the internet cosmos."
On hearing the Discovering Theravada devas' cry, the devas of the General Theravada took up the cry... the devas of the Classical Theravada... the Ordination devas... the Abhidhamma devas... the Meditation devas... the Dhamma-Free-For-All devas... the devas of the Lounge retinue took up the cry:
"On the Internet Loka, the Administrator has set in motion the unexcelled Dhamma Wheel's First Female Global Moderator that cannot be stopped by trolls or spambots, deva, Mara or God or anyone in the internet cosmos."
All the best Cooran

Oh yeah I just noticed that her name is appearing in green. Thanks for helping out and see you in a few days (transport from airport to hermitage sorted with the alms person for the day)!

Congratulations, Cooran - and thanks, in advance, for accepting what is often a rather thankless role.

Congratulations Chris!
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Cool!

Good for us! Congratulations to you!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

A fine, fine choice. I don't think DW could have a better addition to the mod team. Sadhu!

Re: New Global Moderator.... Cooran!
I'm sorry to break the party here but I think it's a bad move. Cooran was a moderator at e-sangha and I remember those days where I had to tip-toe around her in order not to get censured for everything I said. She was a very bad moderator. She is a good contributor here and not fit to be a moderator given her past. Having said this, I hope that the policy of freedom in this forum continues despite this.

Welcome, Cooran! I've never been on e-sangha, but I think it's a good choice. Hopefully it works out well.
