I've received numerous requests for the ability to create groups so all members can just send a PM to the group instead of each individual member. Each group would have an owner, and permissions would be to allow anyone else to edit the group members, and allow others to see the group.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Thanks&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;S&lt;/DIV&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 20 Oct 2005 13:10:33 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>SeanS</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
