And I offer my services should you wish to have another host with whom to discuss administration of hosting duties.

Unless you prefer to work alone...

Theoretically someone could come in here and get disruptive ? Odds of that are nil.

Early on in DU3 I hosted a pretty active group, turned out to be a rather demanding task.
The quieter groups are not as demanding.
One key host job is pinning a welcome thread, and perhaps any other rare threads.

You get 10 folks who say they support the idea of you being host, then let Skinner know..simple process.

fine by me, btw.

Aren't you the guy that posted those evil kitten/puppy pictures here the other day??? I'm not sure a trouble maker like you should have a position of authority here!

And that I would campaign for you. But I threw caution to the wind.

I just decided ~ Nike ~ and then you would have a surprise when you checked in today.

I hope I didn't give away our hiding place.

I really thought of it as a twofold task, 1) surprise you and 2) create some exposure for the group. There are more loners here than we know, I suspect.

Know you are appreciated and respected.
I'm glad you liked the surprise.
Thanks for being a friend and congratulations.
I'll stop by later with beverages and hors d'oeuvres.
Thanks again.

Love, Peace and Shelter. Lmsp

Just now.. But I know, (kinda) Steve2470 and think he would make a great host. Besides, I got tired of sitting in the Asian group all by myself! That might disqualify me, but you should see me at home..I never go out!(sorta, kinda) Does that help?

You might want to post something in Welcome and Help to alert people that an Asian group exists.

And this is exactly where I need to be tonight.

Peace, Love and Shelter, Steve.
Uncomplicated and Unconditional.

I don't drink tequila.
But if I did.
Today. Might have been the day to try it.
Up front is rough today.
I am so glad it is not Friday.
I don't want to see Sarah Palin any longer than a day.

Hope you are well and happy.

It will all look better after a good night of sleep.

Thanks again.
Sweet Dreams.
