Please congratulate Alerissa Nestor for being our current Arachnid in the Spotlight! Honestly we wanted to do this a while ago, and also promote her for her incredibly help to newcomers, the recent work on the beginners guide (including what to do when you bust up your homesite!) and for her gorgeous graphics she's donated all over the site.

But we refrained from doing so, as she was recently made scribe in Hellas, and has very obviously been so busy with other duties and whatnot we didn't want to overburden her! But I think you can all agree, she's very deserving of it and her contributions to this group are self-evidently our reason for doing this. 55 board posts, many messages and grams of help and advice to newcomers and older members alike, and great fun to have around. Alerissa, you have absolutely no added duties, nothing you have to do, this is just our way of saying thank you so much! You are a terrific Arachnid, a terrific lady, and an AW member we all really enjoy having around.
