Re: <MISC> Mercator Mapping Tool Peer Support Groups
Michael,
The www.eaiobjects.net group moved to www.eaiusergroup.com. I would
recommend going there. It was started in April. It has forums for all
significant EAI topics. Other than "Latest News", the "Mercator" forum is
the most active.

Either you 'join' five or more groups or get less than all
