| I'm Adam Alexander, one of the people selected to be a moderator on these forums. I'm not yet certain which forum I've been selected for yet, because I listed more than one that I would be interested in, but I'm hoping for Emotional Mastery, Character and Contribution, Technology, or (most of all) Spirituality. As for who I am, I am a computer nerd. I enjoy learning so much that, rather than take the fast track through college, I'm taking a more leisurely pace at a technical college. Unfortunately, all of my degree-specific courses have been taken, and I only have generals left towards my degree, but while I'm learning about underwater basket weaving, I'm also the only dedicated tutor at my campus, as well as an instructor for the associate-level computer courses. In my spare time, I am a programmer for Project Wish, a community driven project that hopes to recreate many of the things that Wish could have been, had it not been canceled. Wish was a massively multiplayer role playing game that hoped to move away from the standard hack-and-slash style of current MMO games, but was cancelled during beta testing for undisclosed reasons. I'm designing a dynamic weather engine that can take qualities from the terrain, such as deforestation and fires, and affect the weather realistically. I'm also giving heavy input into the economy, as well as helping with the world-creation tools. Before this chapter in my life, I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, and I joined the Army when I was 18. I was discharged because of a medical condition. Basically, I ran too often, so my hip slowly gave out until I wasn't able to run fast enough to keep up with the Army's standards. I don't think that it was much help that I considered the (for then) brand new war in Iraq to be unlawful, so despite my pride, I accepted an honorable discharge. I hope to get to know everyone, and I plan on being at least as much help as everyone will help me. Thank you, Steve!

| Hey Adam, another moderator-to-be here. I'm not sure what your email looked like but in mine it mentions which sub-forum I will be moderating in the first paragraph; you might want to take a look and see if yours is the same. |
| |||
| Yep, I missed it in my rush to read as much of the email as possible. Thanks for pointing it out.

| Not too "conscious" and "aware" are ya Adam? Perhaps we made a mistake in our selection. lol

| Awwww, first day, and I'm already fired... Although I was fully aware of what I was doing... skipping the important parts and going straight to the generic bits! I'm sure I'll never live this down. I'll be known as the guy who moderates for awareness, but just wasn't aware of it. Thanks for the humorous welcome, though.

| I love your signature, Adam. Very powerful quote there. You'll live down the shame, just as soon as we can find someone else to pick on. Oh dear, I think I'm channeling Steve. Help me!

| Thank you. It was either this one, or my own catch phrase: Fear, more than anger, is the enemy to peace. I just figured that more people would see historical figures as more quote-worthy, rather than quoting myself. Quote:
