Those are the reasons that I will never, never, NEEEEEVER have anything to
do with grouply no matter who invites me to join a group on grouply for any
reason at all. The plagues of Egypt aren't sufficient torment to express my
displeasure with them for the very things mentioned above. I made the
mistake of joining a gruoply group when grouply just started. The group was
deleted by it's creator as soon as we all figured out what was happening
and we all changed our email addresses. Never again! Never. Never. Never.
Die grouply. Die!
That's just my humble opinion. :)
