The count from yahoogroups is 4408.
It's okay not to leave our monthly reminder at "over two thousand." That's still true. And probably 1,000 of those members got what they came for and don't read anymore, or have changed e-mail addresses and forgot how to get here.

Even if we only had one thousand, though, it's better to think before posting whether it will be potentially beneficial to hundreds of people to read what you're writing.

That means asking and answering questions is GOOD! :-)

Bringing a link to an article or video or book might be good IF the item will help unschoolers, and IF the poster explains why she/he believes it will be helpful. So don't drop an un-introduced link. That's not cool. Tell us the good parts and what got you excited about it.

Thanks for being here!
