The J-programming group I set up for a few reasons.
Some members of c.l.a. objected to J code being posted there.
I wanted to have a group where simple examples could be posted.
I can also put files on the web there.
The group is open for everyone but after having it completely open I
started getting spam neither I nor other serious J members wanted.
So I closed it so only members can post but anyone can join and/or
leave as they want and they can read the messages on the web or get
them sent by mail.
I also have it closed such that the first message is moderated and if
it is from a spammer it is banned but serious members can from then on
post freely.

It has worked very well so far and there are some good examples there
I myself look at once in a while.

I do not see the group as a surrogate or competition to the forums.

There are members of the J-Programming group that are not members of
nor willing to be participants of the Forums.
