What's funny about the Tovia Smith story is that she never talked with me (Boston No Kidding founder). I did get a write-up in the Watertown Tab (just outside of Boston proper) and it was fine. (However, I don't think many read it 'cause not many people joined after it came out.) I did a TV thing and it came out OK and we got about 7 new members from that. We've been getting about 1 new member per week on the activities mailing list. And no one has been quitting. We're finally on the first page of http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Regional/U.S._States/Ma/Cultures___Community?show_groups=1
