I don't want to invite anyone into a situation where they get blasted by
spam e-mail I have zero experience with Google groups but I worry
about my friends ( not really myself, I have dozens of e-mail addys, and I
can delete any that get spammed ) I have already run into resistence from
some of the people I'm hoping to network, they don't tend to be 'puter
types, and they do NOT want to take any perceived online risks.


Do you have personal experience with the Google Groups? Do all members of a
group have to sign up for a Google 'account'?
