Note to Admins: 3 messages were deleted between my last post on the 12th and this one (you can see the "Message has been deleted" note), I believe all 3 (or at least 1) were attempts to reply to this topic from a group member, who eventually gave up and emailed me directly. It's not the first time and it's frustrating people.
