Frank,
"I'm not sure you have to force everyone into a single Website solution."
I do not think you have been getting E-mail from the MSOG. Let me set you
straight on that Frank. The idea of combining the sites has been talked
about and considered for some time on this E-mail Forum. Not my idea, nor
something I would, or could, for that matter, force upon anyone. Since the
price we pay is well - free, I would be the last to consider ("fret over") a
free based Website as competition. Rather, it is better to consider what is
best for the Group.
If you wanted to create a new site by copying my material, you should have
waited until I closed the site to make the announcement. At least waited
until I had the opportunity to finish negotiations with Bob E. I do not
consider your actions as competition - I consider it rude and you owe me an
apology... But, that's just my take on it.
You have been given a good reference by some of the group: Here is hoping
you build a great site of your own design and creation. Here's hoping your
site becomes a resource for the MSOG.

P.s. If you care to discuss this further, contact me off list.
