I'm sorry to hear that you're giving it up, Nancy.........but I totally
understand it. I keep my private groups going but honestly, I don't
participate much anymore.......I've been doing them for 6 years now. I
pay
alot of money every year to keep them open for the folks who still enjoy
them and I do like having a place online to just go read and view pretty
stuff:-) But I turned the everyday moderating of them over to other folks
long ago. I just keep up with the bookkeeping part of the job. We lose
interest and we want to spend our time doing other things or just put
closure to something...........it's understandable. I hope that you find
someone suitable to take it over................I think newsgroups are on
their way out though personally. Folks seem to prefer yahoo groups,
etc.........
