Member Eklek has reached the Gold 100 mark. A Sifter of few words, usually preceded by an asterisk. Eklek doesn't reveal much in comments but I have had the good fortune of this Sifter laying an expert hand on my tags and channels resulting in a more cohesive, efficient and streamlined VideoSift.

Even Eklek's avatar is mysterious, and I've come to regard Eklek's presence as that of an minor Sift Deity. I know not gender nor nationality, but I've heard rumors of this Sifter being Dutch. Or Swedish.

The videos Eklek submits are certainly some of the greatest in quality, perhaps so much so that the time and mental investment needed to grasp their depth leave some Sifters in the dark. This has lead to a disproportionate PQ which I think we owe to ourselves to revisit...

Eklek's Sifttalk posts are also characteristic in style, those of a clockmaker or careful craftsman, all pertain to the finer workings of the Sift, and how to make it better.

So please let's all applaud this master of the Sift, because for all the times we didn't tag correctly or messed up our channel assignments, Eklek was often there to pick up our slack.

Congratulations Eklek!

Congratulations, Eklek! This place wouldn't be the same without you. If I want to find some unusual, off-the-wall, freaky, or esoteric videos, I need wander no further than your queue. Good show, chap (chappette?).

Congratulations Eklek !! As I've said before, you've got an excellent taste in music, you sift the right stuff, keep great playlists - do keep up the good work and certainly don't go anywhere!

thanks for all your kind witty words dear young/old siftettes/sifters worldwide!! Proud to be member of this *quality community!

As far as my identity is concerned: I think ASL (age sex location) in general does/should not matter much when communicating ideas – although I do enjoy some thoughtful stereotyping.
We are all human beings with shared and divisive ideas that need to be and should be communicated to further our mutual understanding. Let’s continue to challenge our world view with low-/middle-/highbrow local/global old/new fictional/factual ideas (contextualized!! videos): the world is changing all the time.

BTW, I’m intending to make good use of my new power to promote other fellow sifters/siftettes’clips (yeah!)

Tack så mycket,
..en bedankt voor de bloemen!
