Well, Anna -- I never would have asked you to change it but I'll tell you why i did.

It seemed to me that "Buddhism for Beginners" sounded like we were going to teach newbies the Buddhist religion -- like we would teach them Buddhism. I've always thought it was just slightly off-putting, especially for people who didn't know what the thread was really about, but what you did with the thread was nothing short of brilliant. i didn't want to mess with that in any way, but I thought we shouldn't take the chance of people thinking we were 'converting' people or something.

As I said , i didn't mention this to you,because this was all your work and you had put it together before I became co-mod. I wasn't going to ask you to change it and I didn't feel it was my place to change what the co-mod had established before I got here. Since you stopped moderating, I felt I could take the responsibility to change it.

I hope you can understand my reasoning and that you won't be too upset about this.
