Oh, that's not your fault. It's been something that's building and there
really *isn't* any reason that I need to remain list owner. I already own
enough as it is, I can share.
I especially want it to be clear that I feel no possessiveness toward
Gmast. I enjoy it here, even when it gets hot, but I don't feel like I
need to "own" it. (Unlike the lists that I started.)

Even when he called you a right-handed bigot?

My reply to this got too big... I'm going to start a new thread.

It's something that's been building for awhile. While it may be a small
faction that's dissatisfied, I believe someone else as list owner could
remove even that tension.

My sig's always said "list owner". It's others on the list who have
called me "moderator".
