Yes, I have used Google groups for various things, and still do. It
is not possible to spam a private group, only members have access.
Using dozens of e-mail accounts is a waste of time, better to use a
good anti-spam facility like Mail Washer;






I exaggerated .... I have one addy I use ONLY for the most trusted people, a
hotmail, gmail, live.com account or three I almost never check and use
places like ROFF and a couple others reserved for special selections of
people, say business contacts, to have.

I already use mailwaser pro and you are right, it's great ... I only use it
for 3 accounts, 4 counting my wife's ...


many of the people I'm trying to network only have a single e-mail from
their ISP, are very experienced fishermen but almost totally inexperienced
on the 'Net I know that it's hard for many of us old time 'net abusers
to believe, but trust me, there are still lots of people that find even
simple e-mail difficult to master.



as for the spam, I was wondering how much Google sells and abuses e-mail
addresses of 'groupers'
