You can now reply to topics in the Google Mirror category just as you would any other posting. This means that you will no longer _ **have** _ to send emails to the INA Google Discussion group to participate in topics originating there. Just hit the **Reply**. (Of course, you can still choose to send email replies to the whole Google group.)

There are a good number of active participants on Discourse, as well as spikes in non-member page views during active discussions here. Removing the “no reply” restriction on Google Mirror postings will allow people to use just Discourse. It might also motivate some non-members to get a Discourse account in order to see and participate in the full topic thread (the one with Google and Discourse postings.)
