Welcome William Thornton...
Posted: Tue Jun 06, 2006 3:32 amOn behalf of the owner and staff of BaptistLife.Com, I would like to welcome William (Thornton) to the moderating team. He will become the moderator of the new SBC News and Trends Forum. While William doesn't need an introduction, I want to share some information with the BaptistLife family.
William is experienced with Baptist cyberspace discussion forms. I became cyberly acquainted with him back on the old SBCNet Discussion Forum which was hosted on CompuServe. It was sometime around 1995. In those early days of Baptist cyberspace discussion, Bruce, Ed, William and I were all discussing Baptist issues on that forum. For more than a decade, he has been actively discussing Baptist issues, particularly Southern Baptist issues. It was prior to 2KBF&M and Weblogs (blogs). Cyberly speaking, it was ancient of days...
Being a Southern Baptist, William is well qualified to moderate a SBC forum. His knowledge of Southern Baptist life is a positive factor. He speaks as an "insider," inasmuch as he's the only moderator who is still a Southern Baptist.
He has been an active member of the BaptistLife family since March of 2000, which is when BaptistLife began after SBCNet ceased to exist. William has posted over 1,850 messages since August of 2004, which was the last update of our present format.
Welcome to the BL.Com staff, William. We're happy to have you on the moderating team. Your first assignment is to go to Greensboro next week and report the interesting news about the expected historic annual meeting that is certain to occur. Find a computer somewhere and give us some fodder for discussion. We're looking for at least ten hot threads to come out of that convention.
Here's a Golden Spur for you. (Moderators don't get many of these...)
