I really think we DO need a seperate group for a few reasons. I understand the desire to focus THIS forum, but the problem is that whenever we try, a lot people react by implying we are trying to squash dissent here. And while that is frustrating to those of us who WANT to focus on the action and not the debate, those people are ultimately right. This is a big, public board, and lots of things fall into the category of this forum. We shouldn't try to stifle discussions that other people find important jsut because we are prioritizing differently. This forum would continue to exist, and there will probably be an overlap.

THe benefit of starting a Group for this is that we can put in the mission staement that it is assumed that fraud occurred, and topics must pertain to the ongoing effort to expose & remedy fraud. If the mission statement is written properly, then debates about whether or not fraud occurred wouldn't happen. THey can still happen here, and threads about Condi and the inauguration and other election result related stuff would still happen here. But the new group would be FOCUSED.

DU is huge, that is why they started the groups - so people could focus.

I say let's do it.
