I received an invite from Dale and signed up with my gmail email address (as that is the way Google wanted it.) I started to question the security of google groups. Having my email, name, city, state etc all "out there" gives me the creeps. There are a lot ot creepy people out there. I don't know if I can trust Larry Page and Sergey Brin's site ad much as Alex Wetmore's (even though he booted me when I stated that Bridgestone bicycles are/were junk.) So I quietly unsubscribed the same day. Something about the simple Phred site seemed to work. Another thing that I find fishy is that the CR information at the bottom of each CR google post is the same as the info at the bottom of the old Phred posts. Lastly, I went to the CR sign up page on the Phred site and the CR sign up form is still there
