That makes sense, yep, I get that. I just wish they'd called them subscribeable hashtags rather than "groups", because "group" to me leads you down the mistaken path that Jorge took (it sounds like a planet, not like a mailing list). > And you can't limit who sends to the group.

Mm, although I note that you can't limit who *sends* to a group even then -- there's no way of stopping someone denting "!ubuntu get stuffed", it just won't get *republished* by the group ;-) sil -- New Year's Day -- everything is in blossom!
