Jeff Scott Davis Very true. What Paul said amounts to, "Eww,
  they're not like us. They dumb. They should go. We smart. We
  stay." And my apologies if I was rude Paul Gibbons - it's just
  this:
  The ability to CREATE a new group is _very very very very very
  very easy_ to do on Facebook or anywhere.

  Now:
  a) If you don't like the way a group works, then become an
  administrator

  or

  b) start a splinter group which fits your needs.

  Of course you can do:

  c) Complain that things should be different and that it's not
  fair that things are the way they are and people should all
  change and you should get to stay the same.

  But really.... c)? That's whining.

  Is whining philosophy? [sorry for the ranting. I just don't like
  posts that try to get a bunch of likes on it in order to compel
  administrators to make the changes they wish to happen in a
  group. Talk to the administrators DIRECTLY. Discussion groups
  are not democracies. They have leaders and a hierarchical
  structure]
