For my part I choose to eschew EN. However, as an AW user, I know that
it is dangerous to post through their servers anything other than text
and Sunday School photos. I keep a list of active groups and will
happily include whatever group the posters choose, and pass on this
information to those who request it.
That said, Squiggle's idea has merit.
Speaking for myself and lurkers who are grateful for your services,
thanks for all you do.
