@BryanKrause @theforestecologist glad to see you both took the plunge!

@AliceD thanks for your opinion... I guess I will start becoming more active on meta... I thought I was pretty active on the review queues (being in the top 10 of all-time for first posts and late answers) but I will try to come on a semi-daily basis...

I also see that much more experienced users of the community has nominated themselves which is great!

(and now I don't have a chance :P but it's all good...)

@theforestecologist Hooray! I'm really happy with this turn of events. I think you'll find it doesn't take as much time as you think it will right now.

@BryanKrause - Wonderful to see your name there too! This is exciting! :)

@terdon I was quite literally startled to see I had a score of 31. Huh??? I don't remember being that... helpful. :-/

There must be something I'm not getting about the scoring. Oh well, we have good candidates now!

Ah, my rep pushed me up there. Ok, got it.

@anongoodnurse Rep plus you have a very solid review history here. I really hope we all can make/keep Bio.SE a place where people like you feel like contributing is worth their time. I would not expect you to go up for mod even though you'd deserve it, but I hope you can settle in with WYSIWYG as one of our favorite community moderators :)

@DeNovo You definitely stand out among the recent additions to the stacks I hang out at. I really appreciate all of your contributions and I'm excited to see your interest in the stack by nominating.

I'm happy with the slate we have without me :)

@anongoodnurse Doesn't surprise me in the least.

@BryanKrause thanks! It turns out my nomination may not have been necessary, but I thought I'd offer to help out! Regardless, I'll help more with the review queues.
