Skinner asks if we need a host in our group now that we ..

have gone live on DU3.

All temp hosts have been retired.

I told Skinner that I would like to host this group if we decide we need a host.

I hosted in the video & multimedia forum during the preview trial and I enjoyed doing it (there that's my resume.)

I personally feel that every group needs hosts (plural) for the very reasons that Skinner lays out in his thread, but that is just one opinion and we need a consensus.

Here is a link to his thread:

So, how do you feel? Do we need a host? If so, may I be one of them?

Thanks, LS

I think all groups need at least one host - even if they won't be busy at all.

I certainly have no problem with it. I haven't been a regular poster here in the past but I lurk constantly.

FWIW you have my vote.

"selfish taker of wonderful reviews" I was trying to figure out what you were saying, it took me a while to catch on! You selfishly take any review you want from this group! Very witty!
