I must welcome PETER01, stifle, Orbitmic, Golfmad, Tobias-UK and Calchas to the ambassadorial lounge, and indeed pass on my thanks to BahrainLad and dunk for their participation in a role which is a bit odd at the best of times.
I'm not going anywhere yet, however during the UK General Election campaign I may have to lie low for a bit. Which will give the youngsters (cough) a chance to catch up..... Welcome indeed, from the NCL BA lounge!

Thanks all who offered their congratulations ... I was very surprised to be offered the job!
I have no idea what the genders of most of the posters are, but from the names I would also guess that most are male. I am not sure if it helps but no one asked me my gender before bestowing this honour upon me. Perhaps this should be considered before the next round of appointments.
This is very reassuring to hear. ^
Thanks very much. ^
I still feel guilty about this!! Next time I will provide the wine!
Thanks!

In all seriousness, we’re actually deeply worried about dunk. He went completely off piste a year ago while he was in the middle of judging the 2013 Trip Report Competition. This was a project he was wholeheartedly enthusiastic about. We haven’t heard from him after trying to reach him by PM, email and telephone. All we can do is pray he is well, found rekindled love or a new channel for his time and energy.

And now I've totally taken this congratulations thread off topic. Oops!
My whole hearted congratulations to the incoming team who joins the incomparable corporate-wage-slave. There's a person I'd love to clone for every forum on FT. What a beacon of welcoming light to one and all. And my thanks to those who have served before. I hope that the lost is found, because we miss dunk.

I'm a woman. And I hang out here a lot. LTN Phobia, one of your mods, is as well. Handles rarely reveal gender or sexuality or race. On the whole, that's a good thing, though philosophically I'm very supportive that we have a mix of all. Most importantly, we try diligently to have moderators represent the more than 40% of members who are outside the USA. We do pretty well there.
