Reply #15 – January 19, 2023, 05:39:56 pm Quote from: DJC on January 19, 2023, 05:35:45 pmIt was April last year when I called for "expressions of interest" in taking on the role vacated by Spanner 12 months or so previously. I think that it is pretty clear that no-one among our members has the expertise and/or the capacity to make required commitment. Rather than steering Kruddler's poll off course, it may be worth running a poll on how to replace Spanner Fair enough, although I'm not sure something like that is poll-worthy.

Re: Hello? Can you read this?? PLEASE VOTE IN OUR SITE POLL. Reply #25 – January 20, 2023, 09:08:36 am I'm curious and surprised about the fact that the leading figure in the poll is "read daily but almost never post"I'm wondering why that is the case.Sometimes jumping into what appears to be a 'clique' group can be enough for folks to hold back. I felt a bit that way myself at the beginning, but after a few posts it quickly becomes comfortable.For some it might have been a bad or dismissive interaction with another poster.It would be handy to know some of the reasons.At different stages we've had these personal threads were folks could divulge as much of their personal information as they wished...real first name, State, Age, profession, favourite player, food, music genre, bank accounts and passwords....that sort of stuff, (seriously, nothing too identifiable) which was a bit of an ice breaker when folks found common interests.
