My nomination is very close to yrs in that for me it's a no-brainer that bta is the host. He did the hard slog in getting this group created, and being a participant in a group he hosts, I like how he hosts. JMach is someone else who I'd like to see as a co-host, and I'd add Douglas Carpenter as my nomination for the third host. Douglas has lived and worked in the ME for many years, and is a fair and level headed person...

Having said that, I'm not sure this group needs more than one host, and would probably just be happier to see BtA as host for this group
