I don't think anyone would be surprised to hear that I've had little to no time for all things Minds Eye. I did what I could to help grow the group, and expand it into other venues, but honestly, I think it's time someone else took over the top reins. I know that will be a contentious conversation given some of the conversations and conflicts around here regarding moderation, but I think it's fair to put the top level of control in the hands of someone who is actually currently working to make the list better.
I don't know any better way to do it than to be democratic. I'll take suggestions, via this thread or personal message, and the name I get the most of will get the spot. I don't care if you want it or not...if the majority of folks here find you to be fair minded, then they'll trust you to hand it over to someone else. Who knows, perhaps there will come elections, an official Minds Eye president or some such thing...ok, well, probably not, but you get the idea. This list has never been about hierarchies, but the fact is, someone at some points in time has to make difficult decisions, with the good of the group in mind. It's an utterly thankless job, and no matter what you choose, there will always be folks who find you to be a fascist prick for making that decision. As an aside, for those of you who remember when DubiousProfundity.com was the dedicated website for this list, you might be interested to know that I've revived the new concept here: http://obnoxi.us. Feel free to participate, if you like. Enough with the formalities. I'll start. My vote's for Francis Hunt.
