Ernie approached more than one person to become the nominal ‘head’ following the sale. JohnF may have been the first.

Thanks, Broker, but no struggle I promise.
As Alan noted, there were others on that list.
My leaving WUS had as much to do with my personal situation as the site. My mom was dying and I knew I wouldn't be able to continue to dedicate so much time to a hobby. Being Admin was really never an option, though, of course, it was flattering to be asked.
FWIW, I wouldn't have been a good choice anyway. I'm not techy enough, watchey enough, or patient enough.
I got a watch from Ernie for my birthday one year. It's a nice watch and a was a very sweet gesture. Ernie was always very nice to me though we did have words after I left the site for IWL. I believe it hurt his feelings, though I think he was being unreasonable to expect we would all simply continue as before.
All water under the bridge now. I would have left WUS with or without IWL and I have no hard feelings toward anyone there or here. There are members there I miss and some I don't.
Anyway...WELCOME! We are certainly glad to have you here.
