There are so many groups being started that I can’t keep up with them. It takes a long time now when publishing to decide which groups to publish too.
Some people that I consider friends have started groups and invited me to join. I hope no one get offended if I don’t join. If I feel that I can contribute to a group or enjoy the group’s articles I will join. Otherwise I will not.
I have accepted and rejected several invitations today and still have 34 more that I need to decide on soon. I know that many others face the same situation and hope that no one ever gets their feeling hurt because a person did not join their group.
To me and I believe too many others, friendship has nothing to do with joining groups. It is whether or not you can contribute to the group.

I go through my groups now and again and withdraw from anything I'm not posting to.
I don't take offense at much on here. That is your personal preference William, and so, whatever you choose is acceptable to me.
After all, you are your own person, and I am very sure you have a mind of your own...lol
Do whatever makes you happy.
Debby.
We seem to feel the same way.
Shannon.
You apparently feel the same.
Moggy.
I hope we are right. I don't want anyone to be offended.
Vickey.
Most of us have done the same I guess.
Lynn.
You seem to feel the same.
I am with you!!! Nothing else needs to be said. Long time no hear. I am back and school starts on the 18th, which is next Thursday so I am going to try to do a little writing this weekend. Happy New Year!!!
I wish gather would make it easier to organize our groups. Maybe its something they will look into in the near future.
Hugs,
Marilyn
I didn't think I would be interested in a few groups I was invited too, but eventually I do get through them. Some I visit more than others. But, that doesn't mean I like the ones I may visit only once or twice a month any less.
It is your decision, William. I personally love the wide variety of groups available. That way I know that whatever I am posting, I'll have an audience for it.
Noone should get upset over your choices. They are YOUR choices. If they get upset over something so trivial, they aren't really much of a friend, now are they?
My advice: Do whatever you want. Join 500 or only 5 groups. But, don't worry about feelings. Like you said, It's not about feelings. It's about personal preference.
The same should be true of any group. Join if you are interested in the subject matter, and want to read what's posted and contribute, or just click "no thanks". I know, I feel guilty every time I do it, but I can't keep up with the groups I'm already in.
Like everyone else, I would LOVE a way to organize my groups!! If we get up a petition, count me in!
I am glad many understand.
That said there are some where I wonder why NEW groups were started because there are like 3 or 4 of like the same exact things.... wouldn't it be more fun if they were all together??
I have joined too many already.... but I'll see which ones seem like the right "fit" and have to drop the others.
