Jay,

I don't get it!  How is fpgroups.com a threat to the list?  How is 
fpgroups.com a threat to TinyRoom or JE's chat room?  

I use the list as my primary link to the community as a whole.  I do not
sit and way for messages to be posted in fpgroups.com ... Heck, for anything
I do in fpgroups.com to be known I need to use the list to let others know.

We can at least agree on disagreeing ... The more sources of knowledge the
better.  The more sources to share the better.  The more sources to find a
solution the better.  The more sources to promote yourself, your company and
anything you desire the better ... and on ... and on ... and on ...

It is evident that you guys see fpgroups.com as a threat or something that
would likely kill whatever it is you are so protective of.  I, in the other
hand, am trying to have you see it as an extension to your already available
resources.

Take for instance the 

(1) "Market Place"; a perfect place to let others know of
all the gadgets you have available for sale, seek for opportunities to do
business with others and expand your target market.

(2) "Who's Who"; an opportunity to let others associate a real entity behind
the email messages and further expose yourself and your business.

(3) "Code Snippets"; an excellent repository for source code that will not break
your bank but sure will help some of your fellow friends (the very friends you
do not want to split).

(4) "Community Links"; an additional way to let others know of any other area
which can be of interest.

(5) "Knowledge Base"; a valuable resource where a wealth of knowledge could be kept
and made readily available for every one to search.

(6) "Articles"; the opportunity to share with others today and the next generation.

(7) "Chat Room"; the cause of all this fuss, but a simple and easy to use medium for
a quick and relax keyboard based conversation.

Not perfect, not complete, not accepted but still a good site for those that find
value in it.

Regards,
