MOTM November 2018: Rssllue

It’s time to pass the crown to the November Member of the Month...Rssllue! Rssllue has been a member of the site since October 2014. It is apparent that he is a frequent contributor to the discourse here – just take a peek at his post count. Rssllue’s participation in the Community & Off-Topic forum is legendary! He also dabbles in writing thoughtful reviews and is supportive of other reviewers. A few years ago, Rssllue had even been a Bookshelves moderator for a while. He exudes happiness and is always respectful of others. The tag on his profile photo and his jumble-style user name will give you a clue to his fun personality. Rssllue, it is my distinct pleasure to pay homage to you this month. Please join me in congratulating a true standout on this site!

Thank you all for the wonderful surprise and honor. I can truly say that I never saw it coming and am humbled by bookowlie's exceptionally nice write-up above. :tiphat:

All I can say is I will do my best to honor the great legacy of this exalted position. I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me. ;) And more seriously I thank the moderators for choosing me to be MOTM for November! Thanks guys. :D

Rssllue - Congrats on an honor that is well deserved. If you hadn't been a Bookshelves Mod when the MOTM awards were established, I am 100% positive you would have been one of the very first honorees. :) The banana band and friends are proud to welcome you to our motley crew !

I think he should wear a turkey on his head, although I am okay with the pie idea. :lol:

The biggest problem is that some of the most deserving members already had moderator or discussion leader duties by the time the MOTM awards were established. At some point, Rssllue stopped being a mod.

Makes sense! Either way it was well-deserved! Course I think mods should be able to be member of the month too. :)

Anyone who can identify knockoff coke (or was it root beer?) from a picture definitely deserves all the crowns. Congratulations!
