Re: Group dead.

Re: Group dead.
This isn¡¯t dead. I¡¯m a proponent of moving to groups.io.? Facebook isn¡¯t the answer. I¡¯m a member of many groups there. It is way too easy to post on Facebook allowing for comments to get out

Re: Group dead.

Re: Group dead.
Hi John, Well from my experience the entire process is painless. Everything stays the same and the user does not have to do anything. Very little effort is required by the owner of the group either.
