I woke up this morning and groggily opened my computer to check the usual email, Google+, Facebook, and BPL, in that order. It was the email that caught my attention and woke me up, though. Apparently, while I slept, I had moulted from an "M" member into an "MLife" member. It's now two hours later and I'm on a crowded train heading to work, and I'm still speechless. All I can say, with the greatest humbleness and wonder, is "Thank you." that was truly unexpected. And generous.
I hope I can give back in a way that befits the gift. Last night, before I went to bed, I had been thinking, after reading the membership and forum thread again, how it is that I could contribute to the flourishing and richness of BPL as a community. Then this. So strange how things work, purling from to another.
Again, thank you.

I believe you already have given back plenty Miguel, years of insight, experience, and of course…. stirring the conversation pot like no one else can, always a great contributor. Thanks.
Aug 1, 2011 at 6:46 pm #1765350I just read your post and thought how cool, then went back to look at the "Hobbies" thread and saw that Mlife next to my avatar!?!?
I also just read my mail from Addie.0
Thanks, really thanks, I am touched.

Aug 1, 2011 at 7:28 pm #1765366That's a great story.
On another track I have sometimes wondered in the past if BPL could become a Co-op of some sort.
Aug 2, 2011 at 3:12 am #1765430Great to hear, both of you, and I look forward to seeing you both around for a long time to come.
