I left for a while over the Frank Wood debacle and I would rather not have to do it again. I also would rather not be forced into having to delete more stuff. Sounds trite, I know, but I believe unwanted email, like spam, is a royal PITA and an invasion of my privacy. I don’t want it cluttering up my in-box, forcing me to do something with it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A FB chat group could be started (No. Not the one we already have there) and then we could go there when we wanted to rather than having it forced upon us.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">??????</div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
