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
