Hi Linda! Thank you for writing to us and proposing your idea for a subgroup. I appreciate that you are trying to find ways to foster non-local discussions. There are a couple of reasons why a subgroup would not be ideal. Tim and I would be owners of that subgroup, which is not ideal for that group. Membership would still rely on the rules we set. It would be far better to have a separate group owned and managed by people who wish to set their own guidelines and manage the group accordingly. We would very happily link to that group both when it is getting set up and when there are posts or events the group would like to highlight.?

There had been a post and offer to help set up a separate group a while back, written by John Kingsley. He would be able to help set up a new group that would function in a way that would work for the members of that group. We highly recommend approaching him to see if the offer still stands. And once/if it¡¯s set up, we will help promote it.

Thanks again for writing! See you soon, over that coffee you had suggested!

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Hi Tamara and Tim.

I'm grateful for the time, energy and thoughtful consideration you both put into moderating the Wakefield News.?

For myself and others, there is a strong desire to share information and ideas that extends beyond our geographical boundaries but nonetheless affects us.?

To that end, might you be open to considering this sub group feature within platform for those in our community who do want to share and receive information of a more global nature??

If WFN would consider allowing this Sub Group (provisionally?called?The-Bridge) that would allow any community member to join either or both newsletters (WFN &?The-Bridge). This way we can connect members of the community and inform them while allowing people individual choice.

If WFN would agree to this?then a few Bridge members would volunteer to moderate?The-Bridge?Sub Group.??

I sincerely hope that you will see this an acceptable option for us to put forward together for our community.

I look forward to your response.?
