You are welcome Barbara Ann.

 

And, those budding thoughts of mine have gotten much more to think

about over the past 24 hours.

I agree 100%!

Yes. This makes perfect sense to me.

What a great idea!

Yes, I think that you've thought it out well.

 

Now, the decision is, " how-to-implement " that decision in a way that

is ecological and beneficial for all concerned.

I really don't think they want any more on their plate. Don't take

my word for it.

 

They'll be back from Costa Rica in two weeks, so you can ask them

them.

That's a strong possibility. And very easy to implement.

 

It only takes 3 minutes to set-up a new group.

 

And, running a 2,000 member group (okaying new members and

moderating them) only takes about 1 hour a day.

 

So if someone finds that " fun " , then it is very easy to do. If

someone finds that " not fun " than the one hour is very hard to do.

 

Funny how that works.

 

I purposefully started my own group just because I needed a method

to hone my own thinking skills and my own writing skills in a manner

that would sharpen my own mind, skills, drills in the direction I

chose to go in.

 

And, if it came to the point that I was not getting my own personal

outcomes from my group, I would move on to other agendas very

quickly.

 

(Sorry, that group would NOT fit some of the members here. My

sincere apologies. I'm not attempting to get more members! I'm

giving an isomorphic example.)

Anyway I can help, let me know.

 

Sincerely,
