Change of Group Ownership

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Ahh well, it that time when I have to think of pastures new. Over the last

two years I've enjoyed running the groups, making them grow and see one in

particular, the TCM group, become the largest and most active forum on the

internet. But, for the last 6 months or so, I've really lost heart in it all

and to be honest, cannot be bothered with the hassle, time and energy needed

to run these groups. Often than not, I don't read all the messages properly

before editing, approving or disapproving them, because I don't have the

time or will to read them, which of course has caused a few problems. I'm

not learning that much anymore from the messages and have realised the

enormous amount of time the running of the groups takes up. I need to get

off this damm computer that's slowly killing me, sort out my clinic,

articles in progress and family life. I've refunded the donations made,

thank you all, and sorry about the timing, it had nothing to do with the

Asian tragedy, I'd been looking at it for some time, had set it up on my

personal website before Christmas and just realised how to implement it as a

url link. But with financial support, moderator support, cannot change the

fact that I've had enough.

 

So, who's gonna run the various groups? Well, of course, those that want to

take over ownership of the various groups listed below, will be those that

have contributed to the success of these groups, i.e. moderators and active

members. Once I've found new owners, I'll remain a silent moderator for a

while to make sure the transition is seamless. My decision on who will be

the owner will be final and not open to discussion. If no suitable owner is

found for any of the 6 groups that I now run, the group will be deleted as

any moderator message will still go to me if the group is left unattended

and I don't want that. Again, not open to discussion.

 

Below is the list of groups that need a new owner:

 

1. http://health.Chinese Traditional Medicine

2.

3. http://health.TuinaQiGongTaiChi

4. http://groups-beta.google.comAcupuncturist

5. http://groups-beta.google.comChinese_Herbal_Medicine

6. http://groups-beta.google.comChinese Medicine

 

Contact me off list if your interested.

 

Thank you all, its been an experience.

 

Kind regards

Hi Attilio

 

I know exactly how you feel about the Lists.

 

Running lists well takes an enormous amount of time. I am seriously

thinking of stepping down from PA-L and PVA-L; indeed, I asked for

volunteers to run thosw lists two years ago, but nobody took up the

challenge and I had not the heart to shut them down.

 

I do hope that you find a new owner, but it will not be me! I am starting a

new job in 2 days and it will leave much less time for list work that was

the case in the past 3 years.

 

May I take this opportunity to thatn you for all your hard work in running

the lists, and to wish you every success in your career and family life.

 

 

 

Best regards,
