Hi, Ken - What about cc-ing things to AMEG (the arctic methane google group) that are also meant for the general geoengineering group readership? I know that I accidentally once did the opposite (i.e., I once sent to the geo google group something only intended for AMEG), but have been careful about that ever since, and they now have their own google group).
