Greetings,
Please join me in welcoming
bodom into the role of global moderator.
Bodom has impressed the Dhamma Wheel mod/admin team with his calm and intelligent postings, and I'm sure he's left a similar impression upon other members too. We are confident that he can bring those attributes into the global moderator role and help keep Dhamma Wheel as the #1 place on the Internet to discuss Theravada Buddhism.
Thanks Bodom.
Metta,
Retro.

Thanks everyone!
Dhamma Wheel has been such a wonderful and important resource for me and my practice of Theravadan Buddhism. I owe a great deal of debt to David, Retro and Ben for Making Dhamma Wheel what is. Without it, isolated and cut off from other practioners the way I was when I first came across DW, I would definitely not be where I am with my practice today.
My only hope is to continue in the lineage of excellent moderators that Dhamma Wheel has seen both past and at present, and to help keep Dhamma Wheel the invaluable resource that it is for myself and many others.
I am on extended leave until further notice. Please refer all moderation issues to our other moderators or administrators.

Alas.
You need to be included in there as well Tilt. Afterall, it was you who sent me the pm on e-sangha to let me know about DW. My upmost gratitude is extended to you as well.

That's right... because at heart, bodom is still a bad boy.

All nonsense aside, thank you Bodom for taking on the moderating role.
It's one of those important but usually thankless and unexciting jobs that makes the world a better place for all of us.

Good morning and congratulations
