Hi Thomas,
Nevermind, I’m being a bit slow over here. I just noticed that it is based off of OZ time but showing in local time, as they are mostly in the early AM. I’m not complaining as that totally makes sense, since you are in OZ. I have been pushing for this, so I hope I can make it but more importantly, I want the most amount of people to get the benefit from this as possible. So if a time is selected that I cannot participate, then I will be more than content that it happened. I would just ask that you could record it and post a link for future consumption.
Thanks so much for doing this. Like I mentioned before, the more publicity and access people have to this community, the more work it is going to be on you. There has definitely been a lot of new users and activity lately, so I hope you are doing well and not overdoing things due to the demands of hepbcommunity.org. I tend to be the type of person that tries to help everyone around me and I can pay for it with my health. I am pretty sure you are younger, but hopefully wiser than I.
I know that you are not in this for accolades, prestige or notoriety. I know it’s because you suffer from the same disease and because you care and are concerned for all of us around the world and want to actively help us all. Regardless, you do deserve awards but I would ask all of the community to pray, wish, hope (whatever your beliefs or religion allow for) that Thomas would be blessed with the best health (that can be afforded with Hep B) and the ability to handle all the stresses of life, family, work, finances and this community.
I know Thomas doesn’t stand alone in this, so let’s add some of the top contributing professionals to our prayers, wishes and hopes like: @Joan_Block, @john.tavis, @MarkDouglas and @Suwang88 because where would this community be without them and their continued time, effort and support?
I know @Joan_Block has mentioned before that I am gracious with my praise which was very kind of her, because we all need encouragement, especially when time and effort comes from the heart and these people deserve as much positivity and blessing because their work on here is voluntary and obviously comes from their heart and dedication to the HBV community.
With all due appreciation,
Paul
