Yes - they all have different purposes though. What is appropriate for
one group often isn't appropriate for other groups though. That doesn't
sound like that's the case here. Could you give an example of something
which wouldn't be appropriate to post on this group but would be
appropriate to post on your group, or vice versa?

So at some point in the future there *might* be user events, and until
then there's nothing to distinguish it from this group? Sorry, I still
don't see why it's a good thing.
