Ben returns as a Global Moderator

Post by retrofuturist »

Greetings,

Due to a fortuitious change in circumstances, Ben is able to perform again in his original capacity as Global Moderator.

:thumbsup:

Sorry if it feels a little like musical chairs at the moment! Despite shuffles over the past few months I'm confident we've got a very good mod/admin team, with a good cross-section of skills, experience and perspectives.

Metta,
Retro. :)

Welcome back Ben!

:anjali:
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.

Great to have you back as a mod Ben :smile:

Thanks everyone.
In case you're wondering what's been going on...

Sometime ago I stepped down from global mod role because I believed the internet service where I was to be living and working, most of the time, would make moderating extremely difficult to impossible. As it turned out, the connection, except for when bad weather plays havoc with the satellite connection, was better than my "premium" service at home. And so that's why I never really went away.
Its good to be back in the role of global mod. As some of you know, service is an important part of my practice and being able to serve the online Sangha is something that I value greatly.
Thanks for having me back!

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