Bob luv...got my scrubby......I know exactly what you're saying.  In talking to people last night, there is a difference in messages they send out. (people as in experienced msn group members not actual msn people who might be able to give assistance)  If they delete a group, it says 'group has been deleted'.

 

I don't know if they reinstate groups...but I say let's scream so loud in their ears, and be such a royal pain in their cushy little butts that they have no choice.
