I finally joined. Yay! Or, rather, I had forgotten to join after the amazing IRC discussion, and after having hand-approved this very group. Dumb. :)
Oh, and Heather, do you think we should remove the "What if we had started this five years ago?" text from the group description? It smacks of an argument for getting the group approved, and since it's already approved I feel like this might be just a little on the negativity side.
