The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.
Hello, As fellow shorthand lovers I thought you may be interested in an article I wrote for “Over 60” – an on-line magazine for Australian and New Zealand circulation. I wanted the wider community to know why I love writing shorthand and that I am not alone! I’m sure you will associate with my feelings! Below is the link.

Thanks Carmel. I loved the article!
Pleased you enjoyed it, Carlos.
Great article. "We are not seeking employment; we are seeking enjoyment."
And since I am within a month of my 59th, I joined the Over Sixty blog while I was there.
Thanks, Michele.
Thanks for the article, Carmel! Having entered the world of shorthand via Gregg Simplified, I'm both fascinated and daunted by all the diacritics and shading in Pitman! In both those respects I notice some similarities between Pitman and DEK (at least superficially, since I haven't learned either system).
