'Bucket' post:

Since my 'replying' isn't working out too well, I'm just going to try it all here... "new" Google groups - "old" Google groups... maybe it's a software incompatibility thing - but I can't reply well, can't find who the members still are, and who's moderating, etc., and it's a bit frustrating.

1.) VON -- Welcome back!  Great to see you... thanks for the Joe Bob update -- and if you want to moderate, I'd be all for it.  It seems to me that whoever was officially moderating just hasn't been here... otherwise, the person who had co-opted our list and was literally killing it with huge, lengthy daily posts and forwards of content/other lists which were of no interest to at least 8/10ths of our members, (initially well-meant though it may have been..?), would never have gotten so far...

2.) I'm not agitating for the group to move anywhere... ( I would personally have preferred Yahoo to Google, as you can see at a glance who the moderator is, who the members are, and you can instant-private-message anyone or even set up a group chat -- which are nice features -- also the threads seem easier to follow and respond to... but it's no big thing.)  Plus, there's the difficulty of someone having to send a message to all the members advising of a move, and everyone having to change venues and re-up, and all...?  Funny -- I no longer remember why we moved here, after our first few spots, aside from TNT bailing on Joe Bob, of course...

3.) If a move IS preferred by our members, NOTHING would induce me to set up a facebook account... so if that were chosen as a new group site, I'd be out by default.        

4.) TYGER - thanks for contacting RaQ... and I hope she does make a return!

5.) Just as a FYI... if you haven't been to the Internet Archives, you're missing a great, *free* resource of music and public-domain movies.  Check it out:

Among other things, there are some amazing "B" sci-fi and horror offerings available... they even have 'Plan 9' From Outer Space"  ha! ;--]

Re: the moderator. I got a message back from Raquel and she's having a problem getting in. I don't know if she's not been here as the moderator for awhile, or what.  And that's all I know.....

ms99-As far as the group moving, I'm easy. I'll just go along with
whatever everyone wants.

i am ready to leave google groups.  so let's go.  i am used to it but sometimes i forget how much i hate google, the changes they've been making, their attempt to control everything.

there's been several times, one a couple days ago, where i was ready to cancel my google account except for the fact my phone is android and it uses google.  love the damn phone  hate google.

i won't bore you with what happened unless you are really interested.  when it happened i found out, once agin, that it's impossible to get any tech support from google.

maybe i'm not doing it right.  i don't think so.  i never have this trouble with any other sites ot whateevr i am doing on a computer.

i can never find out how to actually get in touch with a person, if you know please tell me.

no email.  no phone number.  no on line chat.  they want you to read all the q & a's or go to a forum, submit a question.

i usually figure out what i need or someone i know tells me how.

let's give the basatrds the heave ho

Sorry for the dekay in responding...again!  It's been back-to-school time for my kids, so it's been nuts.

Anybody know HOW to set up a yahoo group? I don't mind doing it, but it'll likely be a couple of weeks before I can figure it out...I head to El Lay on the 14th to help Joe Bob at Comikaze and will likely be slightly crazed between now and then.
