I am very pleased to announce that Ananya has agreed to accept an offer to become co-moderator of the General Discussion forum.
She always strives to raise the bar with her participation, and her loyalty is appreciated.
Please join with me in welcoming Ananya to her new position as a Moderator of Quoteland.

Welcome to the "club", Ananya. If there is anything I can do to smooth your first week or so, send me a PT; I'm confident, however, you are a quick learner and if I'm not mistaken did some Admin'ing many, many moons ago on a forum that had something to do with groves (forgive my poor memory).

Anyhoo, thank you for donating your time to an often thankless job (esp. DF and GD, imnsho).

Welcome, Ananya! As usual, feel free to email or PT me. I'd write more but my browser keeps crashing- oi. Good luck!

Happy days!

I'll try to be nice....

Get Curious!

Congratulations

-Aeras

Bienvendidos! Qué bien!

Ummm.... you guys are going to beat me up. First day of moderation and I am asking for leave. I'm gone for a wedding in the family over the weekend, so I will be able to commence full duties only from Monday.

But yes, gratitudes are due to everyone who wished me well.

Firstly to the Site - Thank you Quoteland, for accepting me and my thoughts always. I exist today as a moderator, because you exist. The incubation space you provide has been home to me for many of my formative years and is so till date in this "www universe".

Thank you TheNostromo, for believing that I could do your site justice. I will try to honour your offer to the best of my abilities.

Thank you Airedale, I will definitely seek your help when needed. I see it as an opportunity to interact with a person whom I have grown to respect considerably over the past 6 months. I am sure I will learn a lot from you, in the future and forevermore.

Thank you Fair_Gwen, thank you for the instant happiness you bring to the space everytime you post. No wonder that you are called Fair_Gwen. I will surely give you traas whenever I need help. yes.

Thank you Asa, just be yourself. Its good enough... we share the same sky after all. On second thoughts, I'll try to be nice too. hahaha...

Thank you Aeras,

Thank you eagleandchild, my french is not that good... but I can feel the warmth in your wishes. So thank you again.

Thank you Luvleetasha,

Thank you EmeraldEyes, thank you for your wishes, and rest assured that I wont have any about...

Thank you August, Thank you for believing in me for so many years. Our friendship has been that rare one that seems to not need words between us. But whenever they do pop up, they warm my heart to its core and beyond. I hope to do justice to the trust you place in me and the love you bestow on me. Thank you for your friendship. It means a lot to me.

Thank you Simone, thank you for the warm welcome. More sister than partner, if you may so well please. Please??? I dont know if you feel that, but I sure feel more close to you, even though I have never met you... You just have to accept me and my bizarre thoughts, cause that's how I am... a big pusher/beggar for love. Love Ya, honeybee!! Lets spread a big buzz.

So YAY for GD, YAY for MBB, and a big YAY for QL HERE WE COME.

Good luck, Ananya! Since you're the "Quote Queenie", I thought you might like these two quotes and are appropriate as you begin your moderator journey here on Q'land.

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dwell in the future, concetrate the mind on the present moment."

"Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world."

Best wishes!!

There is a smell of mendacity in QL. Sorry you all didn't smell it earlier.

Thank you AmyBeth, for calling me the Quote Queen. I will wear the title with utmost pleasure. I've been wanting to post a quote in response to yours of course, but could not find the right one. Hence the delay in replying.

Two quotes that I'd like to quote here.

"We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the world as we find it, including the thorns."
-- Orisen S. Marden.

"First rule of leadership: everything is your fault."
-- "A Bug's Life"

Thank you so much for wishing me well. I only hope I do justice to the trust you place in me.

Hi Nick, long time no see!

I've always liked the word mendacity.

There's so much truth to it, dontcha think?

Well Song Bird, I think there is a lot of truth in the way I use the word "mendacity" but what do I know?
Seen my associate, Andrew lately?

I have always loved song birds. They are a joy of the earth.

Does anyone really talk about the reason David left? That is the true mendacity, I think.

Yes, I've seen your associate,Doc, but the real question is "why hasn't QL seen him lately"?
