Clayton,
As I've previously mentioned, IMO this is a prime reason why we
shouldn't be so quick to totally abandon Google Groups. I haven't had
time to browse the forums (& have prob lost touch with everything
that's going on as a result), but email is pushed to me almost
immediately on my phone. Keeping up with TORCH activities shouldn't
necessitate having to regularly monitor another forum IMO. It would
have been even more helpful had it been a last minute cancellation.
The Google Group was far more popular than our TON sub-forum, FWIW...
