starting a new group/school/college
i strongly believe that there should be control on creating new groups (even school n colleges). what happens is that one searches for a group, school/college in haste and creates new immediatly if not found. for ex. , if one searches for " JABALPUR ENGINEERING COLLEGE" it not be there but same college exists as JEC, JABALPUR or GOVT. ENGG. COLLEGE, JABALPUR or GEC,JABALPUR or the like (even upper/lower case). now, one who wants to either join all of them or else the alumni get scattered defeating the very purpose of bringing all together. There is duty for both; one who is joining (to search well) and moderators/site admin(to suggest that group already exist-join that!!!). all may pl. comment

. something shd. be done in this direction. i have invited scores of friends who were unaware of "minglebox" and they joined. i think all shd. that imm.
