It ought to be one of you Easynews members who posted as the first one in this team thread, which TKizzle, your captain of team Easynews, made for communication and socializing between the all time 8,316 members.

Now it's she who cannot keep her mouth shut welcoming your initiative, TKizzle
I hope your team members will come forward and start posting so we can get to know you
- all 8,316 of you!
- the more communication and the more venues for it the better, I think

'Easynews' seems to be an Internet Service Provider. Is that correct, TKizzle?

little mermaid ... pretty amazing huh? Actually, there's less than 200 currently active. The previous Team captain was inactive, so WCG offered the job to me. The pay was right, and I have the qualifications :-) To answer your previous question, Easynews is actually a site that offers access to Usenet (if you remember what that is from the early internet days). I haven't had any interaction with my team, so I sent out some team emails and decided to start this thread. Hopefully, there will be more convo here other than you an I.

I was wondering if you ever posted as "little mermaid" on Usenet, little mermaid, so I googled and coincidentally found this site: http://www.littlemermaid.jp/ They're announcing a Christmas Bakery:

and they also celebrate リトルマーメイドの日 (Little Mermaid Day) on the 15th of every month.

Sorry for disturbing this much and off topicly, TKizzle.
They say that there is no such thing as poor PR - all is good
- and it does give you some business here as long
as your members have not found the thread yet
I went into my archives and found Mr Takaki's
dedication in full for the cherry trees
- it is very touching, I think:

Thanks for picking up the baton Tkizzle. Your emails were the first communication I received from the team so you've already far exceeded our previous captain in this regard.

For the readers from other groups, the Easynews group is / was a corporate initiative by the company. The service charged by the gigabyte of data downloaded through their service. They offered half a gig of download for free to customers for every 14 days of crunching for the team.

That's how I got into WCG and it saved me a fair penny over time. I stopped visiting Usenet more than a few years ago and am no longer an Easynews customer, but stay on with the team in thanks for their corporate responsibility in supporting this initiative.
