NZ Astro Chat reaches over 200+ Members!

Despite the negative comments of only two people, this group continues to grow and attract members. A large number have joined from successful Astronomical societies and want to receive a few e-mails/month on what's happing.
I personally like that idea a lot more than negative post after negative post.
Focusing on news, meetings, events and announcements people seem to be attracted to a friendly group with none of the nasty and personal attacks that seem to happen on another group.

I wonder if that Group Moderator who only seem to be leading everyone else with his latest example of Negativity has the guts to apologies on his group?
I'll be looking to find out.

Thanks to everyone's help and support this group has grown in size and importance offering News and events to Astronomers Around Wellington, NZ and the world. Thanks Edwin
