Digital BW, The Print

Google does have a groups feature (http://groups-beta.google.com/), but it is in beta and 
very feature-limited.

Regarding your concerns, Walker, I think any serious discussion of moving this group 
would need to involve a polling of current membership to see which way to proceed-- stay 
or leave.  Any ideas that I've been floating are just an attempt to brainstorm solutions to 
the problems and concerns that others have with this forum (which I also share).
