Those who have been regulars on this forum know that Bill, who posts as “Falceros”, has been an outstanding contributor to this forum community. Since October of 2004 Bill has voluntarily contributed over 4031 thoughtful posts. His posting “karma level” is so high up in the “Celestial Follicle Club” I can’t even see his feet. His reputation truly precedes him.

So I’m delighted to announce that Bill will be getting even more involved with this patient based community by becoming a part time “Associate Publisher”.

Having Bill help co-moderate this forum, answer emails and write updates for our Hair Loss Q & A Blog, newsletters and websites will help improve the communications and services this community provides.

Bill graduated from Temple University with honors in elementary education and is pursuing a graduate degree in counseling. Given the amount of great counseling he does on this community I think we should consider granting him an honorary Phd in “follicular self esteem and optimal growth counseling” once he reaches 5,000 posts

Please join me in welcoming Bill as our new Associate Publisher.

Onwards and Upwards, Pat

P.S. Can anyone find that image of Falceros floating in the celestial heavens that was posted on this forum and attach it below? I think it would be appropriate.

great news, bill is perfect for the job.

Hell I thought he wasn't only a member but the president!

I totaly expected this announcement to come sooner or later.

Good man for the job!

I just hope he can keep people from turning discussions meant to help people into arguments & mudslinging that goes on here.
We loose credabilty when that happens.

Congrats Falceros!
Doe's heget paid in follicular units?

Congratulations Falceros



PS: I removed the picture that I posted here earlier.

Congrats Falc--- I said you were the right man for the job buddy!

Pat and the entire membership will benefit from your involvement.

Take Care,

Hello everyone and thank you all so much for your support.

I have always been honored to be a part of this community and am thankful that I will be able to become a bigger part.

I've received so much support from this community in the beginning of my journey and now consider it an ongoing honor to give back. Thanks to Pat for giving me this opportunity to become an even bigger part. I will certainly do my best to live up to being a "Celestial Follicle Club Member"

Pat,

I remember that picture. It was originally posted by Bushy. That was incredible. I have it somewhere on my hard drive. I'm sure between my hard drive and searching the forums, I'll be able to dig it up. Though if someone beats me to it...that works for me!

Folica,

Certainly I will do my best to co-moderate this community as fairly as possible. Certainly we never want to turn a thread meant to help people into a mud-slinging contest, however, at the same time, I also believe that the occasional debate over controversial topics CAN be healthy for everyone as this is an educational community. Certainly together, we can help maintain a healthy balance of both, encouragement and education (through various means), while at the same time minimizing posts that will draw unnecessary long term negativity to the board.

Jagdish,

I happened to pop onto this threa earlier in the day and saw the picture. It was hilarious! I'm sorry you removed the picture.

B Spot,

Thanks for the kudos my friend. I appreciate your support!

Well, I was afraid that a lawsuit can be filed against me for morphing your image.
In case if you like it, here it goes again.

Congratulations Falceros

I have enjoyed reading your well written and thought out posts over the past couple of years.

This seems like the perfect position for you. I for one appreciate your responses, time and effort you put forth to answer everyones questions.

Falceros,

You are the man for the job! Congratulations, just don't let your head get too big - then you will need more FU's!

May as well get paid for doing something you love to do! Many guys have been helped greatly by your informative posts - keep up the great work.

Falc -

Congratulations! You are perfect for the job. I also send out my congratulations to Pat for making the right decision. I look forward your your postive influence on this forum in the years to come.

Thanks for stopping by the other day with the wife. It was good to catch up. We will have to get together again soon.

Wait a minute. I only see a postcount of 3967 in his profile yet you claim he has over 4031 thoughtful posts. It's obvious you must be splitting some single posts into twos and threes. Do we have an actual postcount breakdown? How many of those are actually THOUGHTFUL posts. Surely even the most ethical Celestial Follicle Club member will occasionally make a non thoughtful post. Remember, more post counts does not make a bigger pizza.

You've got to be kidding...

Falc,

Congratulations on your new appointment. I appreciate all that you have done for everyone on this site. Great choice Pat.

BeHappy,

Hahaha...that's great BeHappy! I laughed out loud on that one!

Jagdish,

That's a great picture! I've downloaded a copy to my computer as well. That is hilarious! I guess it would be nice to have that problem eh?

NoBuzz,

Thanks for your encouragement my friend. You are right...I DO love to do this. In fact, I think my wife is already sick of hearing about how excited I am about undergoing these projects.

Hairfree,

Thanks for your encouragement too brother. It was also good to see you the other day. Next time we'll have to hang out a little longer...sorry we had to run a little early.

But wow...your hair is looking AWESOME for only 4 months.

NN,

Thanks my friend. I'm glad to be able to be a bigger part of this community.

Everyone,

One thing I am encouraged about is that it is not just one person that makes this community so great, but all of us working together to help others that come into this community. We all once started out as a newbie and were spoon fed information that later turned many of us into experienced veteran patients. Thank you all for continuing to make this community what it is, an inviting friendly atmosphere...facilitating education and encouragement.

Cheers,

Falc

Congrats! I bet you never imagined that your hair loss years ago would eventually lead you to become such a positive influence. Now you got your hair back and new job!

Congrats Falc

I step away from the site for 2 days and there is a change in managament??

Haha.. Good move Pat.. As this venue grows, we needed a co-pilot to Hairforce 1.. Falc, I hope you negotiated some flight time on the camper!!

Look forward to the new 1 - 2 punch in hairloss information..

( I cannot call you Bill , doesn't seem right)

Mrjb,

Hey we agree on something. There is no way I can call him Bill. Just as I am no longer "nervous" I guess the name will have to stay.

NN

Proud of ya Falc.


NN

Keep up the good work Falc.

NN

Man this is going to be hard to get to 4000 posts so maybe I can get a part time gig too. I'm going to just wait it out and go for the Walmart greeter some day.

NN


P.S. Actually though if you look at most of Falc's posts they are pretty detailed and occasionally long winded...J.K. His 4000 is like most of our 8000. But I do like the above comment about Falc splitting posts. The photo is too perfect also...Should be sent to his admirer Grace from Bosley.
