I don't use the email address I requested membership through for very much. So every time I checked it and saw that there was mail in the inbox my heart skipped a beat. Could it be? Could it be the key to Barbelith for which I had waited for so long? After months of checking the registration page and seeing a promise of a revised membership policy in the next few weeks (and slowly coming to realize that one was not forthcoming for reasons I soon gleaned from several various threads), I hoped that an invitation would be forthcoming. I would imagine joining the board. But alas, yet more offers of home finance, friendships from Africa, and enhancements to body parts I may or may not have. But then, today, just one message. I think as I open the inbox, "What spam has come my way this morning?" But no! It is a message with three words in tech subject line! A verb, a preposition, and a noun, followed by my favorite punctuation mark. It is exclamatory in tone, and tells me that I have arrived at a place where I am expected and welcome. The email it announces tells me that i have been invited to join this group of people who discuss and debate and figure out problems great and small. I followed the link, and here I am.
Okay, sorta pretentious, but I am quite excited to be here. So hello, I look forward to the future here. |
