Hi everyone. First off, I would like to thank everyone for being a part of this group, it's been so much help for so many in the past. Unfortunately, I feel it's become rather obsolete. Worse still, it has so many spammer members, that the new post check has not been kept up with. I don't see too much legitimate activity (though some is, and even just now, I may have accidentally deleted a good post (so sorry!)) So I'm wondering if it's time to let this group die a peaceful death? At the time I took it over, it was still quite active, but not so much anymore. There are other very helpful groups that are far more active, and I myself have been inundated with life (3 kids keep me very busy!) so that I can't even answer questions anymore! So if anyone is still out there :) Please let me know how you feel about my closing this group down?? After I close it, I'm sure someone could reopen it afresh or something like it. If it's wanted, a rebirth is probably in order at this point. It's such a stagnating group right now. I do think people found it originally to be a friendly place for utter newbies to ask all their "stupid" questions and feel comfortable doing so. It would be nice to have that around again, but I think this group has had it's usefulness in the past and desperately needs refreshing. Again, thanks so much for being here! I'll wait a week to see if I hear back from people, in case someone has a better idea. I can't see how to reset the way this group accepts new members, and it's very contaminated with spammers which makes it very hard to manage. I think a complete shut down and rebuilding by an active blenderhead :) would be a great thing! Thanks, Ingie
