Ben,
I'd offer an e-hug, but I'm just not that kind of guy.
So instead I'll just thank you and wish you and your family all the best!

No suprises with the new additions, both were moderators of Theravada over at the grey forum, if I recall, and I although Dhamma Wheel (being an open medium) is still subject to the occasional nut job, nothing on the scale (I suspect) of what you would have encountered at the defunct joint.
Good on ya' Ben, for everything

Re: Dhamma Wheel Staff Changes (please read)
Greetings,
Another announcement!
Venerable Dhammanando has decided to step down from his global moderator position on account of being very busy with a variety of monastic responsibilities. Venerable Dhammanando was both an active contributor and an excellent moderator in the formative days of Dhamma Wheel. We were pleased to be able to provide a platform by which he could speak on the Dhamma after he left E-Sangha, and in many respects, this forum would probably not have come to fruition or blossomed as it has, without his input and involvement during that formative period.
Please join me in thanking venerable Dhammanando for his service to Dhamma Wheel.
Metta,
Retro.

Thank you, Ven Dhammanando, for your wise contributions here and, earlier, on e-Sangha.
We never quite know each other on online forums but we do learn what to expect when we see a particular name attached to a post, and I always looked forward to reading your posts, whatever the topic.
Metta,
Kim
