Re: List goals/aims/results?

This is a true issue. I belonged to a group that had some "minority"
users and they did feel intimidated by the "majority" users. While the
topics were similar the were different enough to have cause this
similar problem. What was found is that the minority members were
emailing each other privately.

I suggest that perhaps the group be split into
CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO-Desktop and
CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO-Industrial? (for a lack of a better word)

Those that want to be part of both naturally could those could have
the choice of belonging to one or the other too and the posts would be
more topical.

It was a good move for our other groups and they grew equally.
.02 worth from a newbie who doesn't mind asking questions and really
appreciates the answers so far.
