Groups ownership
|
Walter Ramage
Hi to all . Can somebody explain to me how it works. Michael Capelle handed over ownership and responsibility to two individuals. I assume then that they were the owners. How is it that he could just take ownership back. If the two who were involved changed passwords (and I don't know if they did that) how could mike then take back ownership? It is kinda like me handing over my Send Space account to somebody else and if they change the password etc then how could I take it back. I know there must be a straightforward answer but the whole thing sounds a bit bizarre to me. I'm merely curious as I've never owned a list before and don't know how it works. Walter.

Hi Walter,

I stand to be corrected on this. Michael was and is the owner. He handed over moderation to two individuals. An owner of an email list can appoint moderators to help them run the list. Once he saw what was happening with the moderators he took back full responsibility. He may appoint moderators in the future or may just go solo as he has done.

Hi Walter,
My guess is that there are two possibilities.
Either Michael retained actual control of the list the whole time or they were
nice enough to give it back.

Ah. I see. Then in that case, he didn't really step down if he kept overall
ownership and if the other two were power hungery as they seemed to be from what I've heard it is surprising the agreed. Whatever the case, it is a bit of a farse and I get the feeling that list will go further down hill unless he gets to grips with it Ah well, whatever will be, will be. Thanks for the answer. Walter.

It might have been better if he had made that clear from the outset. Life is too short for such a lot of aggro. Walter.

No, he said that he was going to step down. I wonder, did he not step down yet, and was going to?

It works something like this. They pass on the credentials to him
as an owner and either he or they change their status back to
regular membership status or mods.

It may even be that, technically, he was still owner until the final decision was to be made.

He specifically said thatthey were the coowners
when he gave up ownership. He express,ed a number of times after he did
so, the desire that he might be the owner again and expressed regret that he had
given up the list. They must have allowed him to take the list
back.
