Hmm. Don't forget that some of us *can't* use google plus, because it won't let 
us use our normal online names (I've been TIbs online since before there was 
such a thing, but that's not good enough for google plus). I'm sure I'm not the 
only one. That shouldn't matter to anyone on this list, of course (my problem, 
etc.), but it needs to be considered if the aim is to *broaden* the community. 
And there are other concerns with all of the social networking sites (google 
plus, facebook, etc.).

Google groups, of course, just (at the moment) need a  valid email address to 
post to them - if you really want something from google, does that provide a 
half-way house? (I've no idea if you can gateway google groups and google plus 
in some transparent manner).

Back in bulletin board and usenet days I tried to only my first name online and carried on when I discovered the web.

The practical solution is to just call yourself King Tibs and you are sorted :-)
