Good to be connected! I look forward to my life slowing down enough to take a good look around this Ning. Thanks for making it happen!
Hi Tom -- no worries about the spammer -- he didn't bother me at all. I just figured you'd like to know. Keep up the good fight! See you tomorrow on #edchat!
Thomas, thanks for featuring our China teaching group! Hopefully we will get more members! We've been busy but we've got some China story blog postings planned for EduPLN!

I want to thank you for the prompt attention you paid to my request for membership. You facilitated the registration process and were very supportive through the NING password technical difficulty. I anticipate a great experience here in the EDU PLN.
