Two up and one down, keep moving

Two new Yahoo Groups have been formed. The Grouply-Users-Group is for active users of Grouply to explore the product. To belong to this group one has to be a registered user of Grouply. Postings on this group are closed.

The other group, GrouplyFriendlyGroups is there to list groups that welcome Grouply users. This is a backlash probably to counteract the some of the negative assertions of past few weeks where some groups have elected to block Grouply use using the owner controls.

I tried to do my own survey of groups that have blocked Grouply and it seems that for some reasons people who into knitting, embroidery and such are more likely to have blocked Grouply. Why people who knit and sew might take this approach is beyond me, but it is a free world.

And the Old one? Well the major proponent arguing against Grouply was someone called Ungrouply running a group by the same name. Neither seems to exist anymore. All very interesting.
