I agree....it is tough to find enough time in the day to look at the AP group website.....and to sift through posts that have nothing to do with AP is a waste of time for people who are interested in discussions related to the community.
I especially like the point at the bottom of Hinge's e-mail about how influential the group has proven to be and about who is obvioulsy viewing the board.....if the board gets bogged down with too many non AP issues it may lose its influence.
