So we have about 1400 people in a short period of time that like forums and how no where else to go. I for one hate, despise, loath and in general just don't like google groups. I like the general layout of other web-forums like wine-forum however. All google groups gives us is a gateway to wineusers newsgroup which has been around forever and a day. I propose we make the gateway on wine-forum so it will have a much more sane layout. Then it won't disrupt the existing userbase of fragmented forum usage while adding a valuable service to the community. Evidently an equal number of people prefer the wine-forum to posting on google groups so the only solution I see is to add a news gateway to wine-forum so it can access the same content.... Unless you have the power to make google groups not suck. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
