Thanks, everybody.  I will look into all of these.  I used GG for several years, but they seemed to stop supporting it, and I am surprised to learn that it still exists.  Sounds like nobody has conquered the chronology problem.  I spent one entire month two years ago trying to write a macro in Word that would reorder posts in chronological order, but never succeeded.  One of the worst impediments was my own practice of “larding” other people’s posts.  

 

Thanks again, everybody,

Hopefully it works out for you. As to forum software.I've also had hit and mis for that. As fellow regular joe  I found for just chatting about things Wordpress.com sometimes works really well  The cool thing about that is because it's free and you can try a bunch of different setups if something goes wrong, no worries!

Google groups is kind of a mess and I didn't know it was still around to be honest.

I've found FaceBooks groups work well. lol though I humoursly point out that also comes with all the weird stuff of facebook and you need to invite someone to get them started. 

It'll come down to what you like more though. Wordpress.com is free you instead of posting rants and raves (like I do one place) to it post stuff about what you've read

Their's also goodreads. I simply don't know if you can still make a group their or not.

Just some ideas from one everyday joe to another.

Dear Colleagues, 

 

I am about to be exiled again to the Mosquito Infested Bog, this time for a whole six months.  In an effort to retain my sanity, I am thinking of starting an online reading group on Peirce or related topics with a view to future collaborative writing.   Does anybody know of an internet discussion utility which faithfully preserves the ORDER of communication?  This would mean at least that the most recent communications on each thread would  be at the bottom of the list.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.
