The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources.

Butler rates Kingsford’s Oxford…

I just realized this when reading about the shorthand outlines in gregg. I remember those when I was little, not that little but young. I was just thinking of those and when I was in 8th grade a friend and I decided to start a diary/journal I got a steno book because the spiral bound…
I was thinking, why doesn’t this forum abandon this MSN group and get a proper forum from phpBB? We could either try to sneak onto another Gregg site, or even try for a dot com address. And we’d now be able to edit! I think this would be a good idea, but I’m not sure…
