Alan Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 When I recently returned to this forum as interim Admin, aside from preventing any interruptions, one of my goals was to identify a candidate that would be able to function as our permanent Admin and carry this community forward. I will be stepping back down soon, as I have a lot on my plate. My company has experienced some major setbacks in the past year, and we still have a lot of work ahead to recover from those setbacks. My wife and I both have parents at that age where their health is rapidly declining, and they count on us for all kinds of help. We also have four kids in grade school that continue to rely on us to be good parents. And finally, the check engine light in my car has been on for a few weeks now (humor). We have a lot going on, and I wouldn’t be able to keep up. I recognize many names here from our earlier days. It has been a great honor for me to be able to come back and help out, even if only for a short while. I want to thank all the members here, and the moderator team, for being so gracious during this time. This is a wonderful community. In the past week, I’ve had a chance to poll the moderators to get their feedback and thoughts for a permanent Admin, someone who I think Vicky would’ve chosen. In speaking with members of the mod team, it became clear that TallTayl would be a good fit. TallTayl, aka Shannon, has offered to take over as the permanent Owner/Admin of this site. She has served as a moderator here for quite some time, and has made many contributions to this community. I would like to thank her for taking on this challenge, and welcome Shannon as our new Admin. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Without letting any cats out of the bag (because we all know how hard they are to get back in that bag) if you like research and experiments you will definitely want to stay tuned!
