Do we need a host or hosts? If so, let's put it to a vote. [View all]

Since we don't have a poll feature available yet, we will have to run it in a creative way. So, in tradition of the LGBT group, I will facilitate a "poll" of hosts. If you are interested, please indicate so. I will keep this open for a week, then, we will vote.

Also, the group is still new, so if you can rustle up new business, please do. Like the Jewish group in my sig line, I am going to add the Middle East group. I hope some of you will also consider doing this as it may let others know about the group.

FTR, I am cool with hosting this group. I keep odd hours and I only host three other groups, Ancient Wisdom and Pagan Spirituality, LGBT and the Jewish group. I would like to nominate Douglas Carpenter, Violet Crumble, and JMach1.

So c'mon...nominate/endorse someone (including yourself) and then we will put it to a vote.


As a side note: I don't know we need more than 4-5 hosts (and that may be too many, but sometimes, more is better).
