Thank you!

Thank you kindly people!
Clears throat... ahem!
My aim here as moderator at DW is to be as obnoxious and ultra-orthodox as I normally am and to stiffle any free and intelligent conversations...
Hey, you! Up the back there. Why are you sniggering?
...
Seriously though, I hope that I will be capable of helping DW to grow and develop.

Because you're a mod!
Seriously, glad to see you in green my friend.
Thanks for stepping up to help around here
Everyday problems teach us to have a realistic attitude.
They teach us that life is what life is; flawed.
Yet with tremendous potential for joy and fulfillment.
~Lama Surya Das~
If your path teaches you to act and exert yourself correctly and leads to spiritual realizations such as love, compassion and wisdom then obviously it's worthwhile.
~Lama Thubten Yeshe~
One whose mind is freed does not argue with anyone, he does not dispute with anyone. He makes use of the conventional terms of the world without clinging to them

What a great choice by Admin. 
Quickest moves on the block.
Black belts in Wisdom and Prudence.
A rough job but someones got to do it. Kind of like cleaning the latrines at a retreat.
Good Luck Greg!

The essence of a real practice is to bring our intellectual understanding to the level of our heart - so as to feel it - to live it!

With moderator power comes moderate responsibility?
Congrats Greg!
