Stepping down as host, need new one I think

I'm not the most knowledgeable IT person, by far, in this group. I do what I can to help, but I am very limited by my lack of formal training and real life experience in the industry.

I won't step down right away, but yes, I think we need another host who is much more knowledgeable than I.

Have a great weekend.

Steve

The host just needs to be good at keeping the group running smoothly, which you seem to have done very well.

Just my personal opinion that someone with much more expertise is more suitable. If absolutely no one wants to do it, then, ok, I'll stay on. I'm just offering up the position if anyone wants the very minimal commitment of time.

Thanks for the compliment, also. I've done my best.

I think Steve's been doing a good job. If he's getting tired of it, that's understandable.

This group runs smoothly thanks to steve2470. Posts are on topic and we get to see problems, solutions and ideas others have come across in dealing with their various devices.

I think steve2470 is doing a great job moderating this group and appreciate all he does.

if some volunteers wanted to do so, one or two extra hosts is not a bad thing, considering time zones and vacations.
