Umm…. I Goofed…

The wonderful Foxsydee made me aware that there actually already exists a killer quotes group here on Vox… it's called Quote of the Day group and has 50+ members currently.  We've worked out the issues with the missing keywords in that group that caused me to think I was treading on virgin territory, so now anyone searching for "quote" in the groups will find them.

Anyway, since this group here is so newly formed, I was thinking it might be best if anyone who wanted to keep posting/reading quotes hopped over there and we killed this group.  I will continue to be posting quotes of interest to me, but it seems silly to keep two groups running for the same purpose, especially if it forces people to either duplicate their group subscriptions or choose a group.

However, if there's people that would rather just hang out here, I'm more than happy to double-post to both groups and keep it going.  I'd like to know what people think before taking any drastic actions, or continuing to "recruit" new group members.
