		<description><![CDATA[Whether online forums such as Yahoo Groups like it or not, posting the same message across several groups is here to stay. Take for example this reference to cross-posting on the Shelbyville Times, Tennessee, where some author wants to advertise a Xbox 360 on a couple of freecycle groups. In this particular instance the blogger [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=groupscommentary.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3354936&amp;post=8&amp;subd=groupscommentary&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It recently broke the 20,000 member barrier and also recently broke the 5,000 posts per month barrier. How long can growth continue.

The website http://bestdiscussiongroups.com takes the above perspective and lists groups according to the bald statistics of number of members.  It also limits its [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=groupscommentary.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3354936&amp;post=4&amp;subd=groupscommentary&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Not all groups are the same&#8221; is a total understatement.  Group owners can be very paranoid about the operation of their group, how it is configured, how it is used, and this covers aspects that are technically controllable and those that are only controlled via softer policies. So for example, one can, as an owner, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=groupscommentary.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3354936&amp;post=3&amp;subd=groupscommentary&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
