*blushes and thanks everyone for their generous and kind words about me*

One of the most outstanding features of the Barrow Downs is, I think, the courtesy which we extend to each other, and that clearly shows in the many ways we have found here to acknowledge each other. I'm really very proud to be part of an online forum with such a generous community.

I would like to say that the word 'bullying' did catch me up a bit, even with the winking smilie. I've spent years as a parent volunteer in my children's schools developing and working in peacemaking and conflict resolution programmes, where the word 'bully' has little to do with fair play, equitable treatment, tolerance, and respect for rightful rules.

However, now you all know where I got my 'training' for being a BD channel op--kindergarten. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And I hope those of you who were around the channel last night enjoyed the BD Channel Ops Inprov with Merendis and me. We'll be taking it into repertory soon. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
