Having never changed my ID, I am intrigued by those who do and often imagine the nefarious machinations behind such decisions. :devil:

Then I grab another cookie and look at funny cat videos. :dance:

I saw A&B's profile had changed from organizer to mod, and so I decided to check this forum for the announcement. I am slow. Congrats!

Exactly, dragon fruit, pitaya, huo long guo, 火龙果.

The nefarious machination (for those so inclined) behind my use of the word is that I was introduced to this delicious fruit by my then-fiancee during my first visit to meet her in Beijing in October 2011. :alien: Paying homage to our relationship's humble beginnings. B-)

BTW, "nom de plume" is listed in the online Merriam-Webster dictionary: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nom%20de%20plume :lol:

Thanks to everyone for the warm words of encouragement. :thumbs:

Congratulations GandD and Pitaya - both excellent choices and I know will be great additions to the Global Mod team :yes:

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Anyone who wants to be a Moderator should be automatically excluded from consideration, on the grounds that they must be certifiably nuts. :thumbs:
