Yea, is Mark E. aware that every email he posts on the  Groop are at the 
same time posted on Google (regular  internet) anyway?    Well, maybe now he 
is.....Hi  Mark!    

 
If you type in "Groo News from ME" on the Google  search box,  you can see 
pages of Mark's Groop "news" emails  from way back from 1999.   Any random 
person searching for Groo-ish  news can view ALL Groop emails on there.   
 
But the Groo Message Boards have nothing to do with it since it's a  
"Private Forum" (they've been private for years to ward off  "spam bots") where 
you have to log in and become a member.  There are  maybe 20-30 active members 
on the forum at best (most who are part of the  Groop anyway).    
 
It's actually more discreet if Mark posts "upcoming Groo news" on a  
private forums versus a mass mailing Groop list (that has 300-400  members plus 
the "regular internet") whose messages are all stored and  viewable to the 
public on Google....and Yahoo too!   
 
I'm just pointing out that the Groo message board is a private  one and 
that one has to log onto whereas any Groop messages are  viewable on the Google 
search engine. 
 
You can type "Those Who fear Groo" on  Google and you won't see any news or 
 content of the forum turn up on Google.  Groop messages  you can....

Hi, 
 
I am a little confused. Tell me if I'm wrong... but it has always  been my 
impression that the"Those Who Fear Groo" Forum is intended only for  
Groop Members? One in the same? Same Groop Members? It requires  
a password to see any writings or images that members  have posted. 
Whereas the Groop emails are open to the public - meaning that  anyone
who wants to - can simply do a search for "Groo"  -  and then can go back 
and see all prior email posts/digests.
 
I like the "TWFG" Forum because it is visual and it holds on to  prior 
posts and
images that are categorized and easy to refer back to. To me,  it is like a 
"home" 
for Groop Members. Similar to Stan Sakai's "Usagi Yojimbo  Dojo."
 
Am I being naive?
 
Thank you for any clarification,
 
Shawn (the girl :)
