Since we already have TONS of topics, adding another one will only add confusion to navigating through this...especiallly for new members.
AND, since this seems to go back to the suggestion of Private Topics, perhaps it would be more beneficial to utilize that unique function.
Thus, somewhere in this forum, perhaps more detail on how to use the Private Topics function could be useful.
In addition, having the same function as the "Bulk Mail" that is available in the Outlook Explorer, when sending E-mail to a list of friends, or family, etc., could be added so that when using the Private Topic function and wanting to send to the same people, that "Group" could be generated so that everytime it's used, it becomes simpler than the current method, which is to search for everyone's user names until you find who you want to include.
