Re: Need feedback from indoor_construction members ASAP

Is there any body here who is NOT a member of Hip Pocket? Is there an advantage of maintaining a separate group? How difficult would it be to move the indoor construction files from yahoo to HPA?

Personally, I like the interface of a dedicated forum with sub forums and subtopics a bit better than the yahoo groups forum. Many of us participate and contribute regularly on HPA. A move to that site seams logical.

That’s my $.02
