Re: A general whinge - links

Mike
It is very difficult to keep everybody happy.
One must ask 'What have I brought to this group?'......

It is up to the members to post and use it as they feel. I do not
check the links and files sections, thanks for bringing things to my
attention, I delete unsuitable postings and those that post them.

I am now bored doing this, as there is so little activity, I feel
just a little sad that the group has not grown as I would have wished.

As for the links, this is an unmoderated group; Therefore the links
only go where members want them to go......

Some people have problems joining this group, I have myself had a
problem changing my email address. My old one became unuseable as a
result of spam. Im sure much of it originated from yahoo groups and
spammers harvesting prominent emails.
