 Ru was correct: you can't stop people posting in an unmoderated group, and 
 if they want to continue posting about dance politics to RAD, then they 
 will. 
  
 Are you planning on using the new group yourself, or are you just trying to 
 move traffic?  If you have no intention of posting to the RADP, I would 
 think you are wasting your time here.  Sorry.
