Me too. It's much like the other large auto group forums.

Well, that's a more complex solution aimed at hundreds or thousands of 
users, while we have 102 people signed up on this email forum. Not sure 
it makes sense to go with something as complicated as that; perhaps the 
Yahoo Groups such as those that Keith moderates would be a solution, if 
a bit less powerful and elegant.

The Google Groups approach does allow attaching files, but photos, for 
example, must be limited in size to 2,000 x 2,000 pixels. Still, it's a 
free solution, which is a good thing, compared to a full-fledged forum 
hosting service. If you want to give it a try, respond to the email 
invitation I sent to everyone this morning by clicking the URL provided.

I've set up a Google Picasaweb account for the club, but it won't permit 
two-way traffic, like the social networking sites such as Facebook, 
unless I share the password, which is problematic for security reasons.

Thanks for the input.
