Oh good to hear, at least in that I do feel that google groups are much better as mailing lists than the meetup.com list feature. That said, it can be confusing to people to know about both, and even to know which is to be used for communications. What we did in the Atlanta CFUG was post a "pinned" message to the top of the message board in our meetup.com account which pointed people to the way to signup for the "real/traditional" mailing list. You may want to consider that, or you may have conversations taking place in two places, which can get confusing. Hope that's helpful.

Charlie, Thanks for the feedback. We have a small contingent that attend meetings regularly, so I thought I'd start that list of members fresh. I'm pleasantly surprised to see some RSVPs from those who are fresh faces, or haven't been to a meeting in a while. Not sure if that's due to Meetup or the new location. To be clear, while Meetup does have some good communication features, I do plan on keeping the mailing list here on Google Groups, as I feel it's the best solution for discussions.
