That is because before the new ale list was online, I was able to slap-dash a google group up as an interim communication method. I did this with a quickly grabbed list of emails of people from my personal archives that was by no means inclusive or exclusive. It was just what I grabbed.<br>
<br>It is of no value now that the real ale list is back up except as a secondary backchannel in the event of failure.<br><br>Besides, splintering this group is already accomplished by the other meet5ing locations. Add to it that the group looks like particle board and not plywood anyway. glued together by linux...<br>

</div>I don't see the purpose. Further, I've just visited the site and I see<br>
conversations going on there that are not on the list.<br>
<br>
Unless I'm missing something, this will simply splinter the group.<br>
