"How did we get a host?" a locked thread asks? Here is the answer.

[freshwest]

130. Groups can have from 0 to 20 hosts. I have a simple solution to resolve this thread.

Thus I nominate Krisptopher to be a host as he has always been very interested in E & E issues. He and the other hosts can discuss all of these issues in PMs.

I'm not scrolling down to read this thread any longer, but it's now up to 122+ replies, the biggest on the board now. I'll bet a lot of other people are not enjoying watching this played out for whatever reason it is being done.

Why not add another host if there is a concern about equal views on the board, instead of bumping this thread up which will create bad feelings among members with an interest in E & E and divert our attention?

I do not want to get involved with the egos of various people here. It's not mandatory to have a host, was my understanding. If this is going to be an item of contention, we can eliminate all the hosts.

Are the current hosts denying Kristopher from becoming one? Why should any current host deny another member becoming one, so we keep going on about who's going to be controlling this group?

If we have a debate over how to address environmental problems and promoting progressive ideas about energy, those should be handled in threads that reference those solutions.

This thread is not going to resolve the different opinions on those issues, let's simply move ahead on host thing, make sure that no one is being excluded, so that we can move on to other things.

That is my respectful to all parties solutions to this thread, please take it in the way intended, to make a solution to resolve this to all parties' satisfaction. Whatever past grievances between the individuals that existed from DU2 don't have to detract from this place now. Let's forget win-lose, let's make this a win-win.
