Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't have the time or interest to start up a new group. I've seen how much work some of you have put into MWM, and not much...

Thanks, Sal. Personally, I find Yahoo groups to be an awkward format to use. I belong to a few, but mostly I join and then look in on them once in a while....
The following should have been posted to MWM in the last few minutes: There is currently a problem with the submission address for misc.writing.moderated. I am...
Hi guys - just making contact. Who's here so far? I know some of you might be twitchy at using a yahoogroup - but I use them all the time for other lists and...
Many of you will know that there have been problems with posting to misc.writing.moderated since early October. The moderators have been working behind the...
Sorry, my email client forwarded the message as an attachment and yahoo deleted it. Let's see if this is any better. It's a response to my posting in MWM from...
You rarely see posts at least in part because the group has been broken for the last two and a half months. That's what we're trying to fix, but since it has...
Hello John, I have derived some benefits from the MWM newsgroup and would like to see it back in operation. I'm not a big fan of groups like Yahoo and Google...

I agree that forums aren't newsgroups. My introduction to online discussions was through newsgroups, and I'm still a newsgroup junkie. Newsgroups don't belong...

Note that this is only about *moderators* using individual.net as an injection point. Ordinary users can still post to the moderated group in the usual way,...
Lois, My sense of the consensus among the mods (who'll shout me down if I'm wrong, I'm sure) is that while a moderated web forum is an interesting venture, MWM...

Thanks, Sal, for passing this on. I should probably have done it myself. I'm still not fully decided on the course of action I propose below (and it's not just...
Well, I don't really consider myself a stakeholder, but there does not, indeed, seem to be much demand to revive the group. Unless some other moderators or...
