Our intention is that the group is welcoming to all, inclusive to differing points of view on
topics covering national/international issues related to and affecting our personal and collective economic well being.

To the right of the Blue "Post a Thread to this Group" button is a lighter blue button that says "About This Group"
Clicking on it will describe the host moderation functions and identify the current hosts of the group.

Come on in, pull up a chair, the more the merrier.

Is anybody going to take that over?

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. Seems to be a bit of discussion about that.

You may want to pop over and have a look.

3. Hi dixiegrrrrl!

Good luck with this group.

4. Good luck to YOU with this group.

All of us make it what it is, what it can be.
Group host only addresses one thing: OP's that do not fit the group purpose.
Which hardly ever show up in Economy.
threads that don't fit? That is for each member to decide on.

See? I went the lazy route, so I could have more time to read up and post about econ stuff.

6. What isn't economics? Follow the money!

Economics, like sex, is probably (and probably unfortunately) all-pervasive, everywhere.

BTW. Do you know if DU3 is supposed to somehow apply that unspecified list of sites "frowned upon" as links by mods at the previous DU incarnation? I don't see where jurors are informed of the existence of such a list in DU3. Are hosts?

7. If only we had birth control for the banksters, eh?

8. Thanks dixiegrrrl (old or new)

Good job in welcoming, it's been awhile posting, nice to have you in charge.

9. Good to see you, Crewleader.

The group members formed the welcoming message.
The host role is only to respond to any alerts, sort of a "just in case it is ever needed" role.
And so far there have been none, which says a lot about the this group.

Looking forward to your posts!

10. Just want to thank this group for its invaluable contributions. It's nice to come to a place where

you can stay informed on the finer points of economic policy and CE's. Kudos to all of you for educating the likes of DU'ers like me.
I follow this board daily and wanted to thank you all.

11. You will know you have the "follow the money bug"

when it all starts making too much sense and you want to bite the wall!

Glad you are reading here, and pls. feel free to post also.

12. Hi I just subscribed to this group

I just realized there was an economy group. There's lots of good articles in here. I'll be a much better informed person now, hopefully

13. The breadth and quality of the articles here are fantastic, indeed.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay and will be moved to add to the discussion.
