Ok now that there are people here, let me ask... is google groups a
good way to do this? is Yahoo better? Or should I try to set up a
Fourms service?

Thoughts?

My Lego group (www.sealug.org) has just switched over to Google groups
away from Yahoo groups after a couple of years worth of problems.

First things first. Hi. I'm a hamster. No. Really. I live
in Bellingham, WA which makes me a hamster. I have a job which
leads to conversations like the following.

Boss: Did you hear that <annonymous co-worker> just quit?
Me: Good for her. I hope more people leave.
Boss: Why?
Me: Because things suck.
Boss: Yeah. Things do suck.

At this job they are currently making certain goals so
impossible to achieve that I predict a day in the not too
distant future when they actually have to fire everyone at our
location for not meeting their goals (the difficulty is directly
related to our proximity to the Canadian border). Hopefully
I'll find a new job more suited to my educational background
before then. Clearly joy is not coming from my job. I need
other joy. Joy from such things as well written comics,
juggling, good friends, good coffee and beautiful surroundings.

Well. I'd be pleased as punch if you moved over to Yahoo groups
since I already had many groups there. As for forums, if I
actually have to log in I'm unlikely to participate. Of course
I'm very shy and won't participate much anyhow.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy
enough people to make it worth the while.

Just like any Yahoo group, you can set this group to go to an email
address if you're worried about having to log in.

And LAWD do I know what you mean by a job encouraging you to do the
impossible. I have to both plan my day by 15 minute increments one
week in advance, once it's done I go back and justify and reiterate
what I did all day. Lucky for me, they pay me enough to put up with
it.

All hail being paid enough to "put up with it." I
wrangle lawyers. *sigh*
