Google has decided to remove our group descriptions, so I can no
longer post a link back to your ring on the main page for this
googlegroup. Instead, to maintain navigability, I have to create a
post like this, and provide a few navigational links



The Group Homepage:

But obviously I can't start every thread like this, and I certainly
can't ask people who join to do so. Google's ill-conceived policy
change has, for reasons of navigability, left me with no choice but to
put this group on indefinite hiatus. After I post this, I'm going to
be locking the group, and there probably won't ever be any more posts,
in this group. The companion group at Flickr might be another matter.
It also might not, given what Stumbleupon did to itself the day before
yesterday, but at least it is functional, and it is free, so, for
once, I can well afford to wait and see, and give the other place a
chance. You'll find the navigational links for that group in this
discussion

which Flickr allowed me, as a moderator of that group, to make sticky,
keeping it at the top of the list of posts. An option that, if offered
on Googlegroups, might have kept this group alive, but we've all tried
posting suggestions to the forums before, haven't we? Where does that
lead?

Discussions in the companion Flickr group can be followed by Twitter

Discussions in this group will probably never be seen again, so no
Twitter for this place. Time to close up. I'd say it's been nice
knowing you guys - but ... oh, let's just go.
