The list of complaints that has been made so far have been about my posts of medical articles, about photos posted, about the move of the group to Google, about having no interest in the new CMLHope web site, about having no interest in the CMLNewswire blog. Each of those have been things that have taken a considerable amount of time to try to develop. While you say that none of the complaints are directed at me "personally" they all involve the decisions I have had to make and the contributions I try to make to this group. If I understand correctly the small group of people who are involved in the complaints (or suggestions as you called them) would like to the eliminate medical articles, photos, quotes, etc.
To me it seems somewhat unreasonable for a small group of people to try to determine what the majority of people can read in the group. The other subscribers should be able to make decisions for themselves and not have it determined what they can read. Some have have indicated they do like to read some of the content in question such as medical articles. As I indicated previously today the groups and sites are provided on an "as is" basis and cannot be reorganized and filtered to suit the tastes of a handful of people.
