I'd disagree, there's a thread right now happening where people are 
discussing their wants and not wants as far as behavior at the space goes.

I do not understand how we "are cutting people out"? You read the list, 
you see something you want to promote, discuss, or bad mouth, you do it. 
You are not required to register on the list to post something to it, 
not are you required to register to read it.

Is there a way a user can get a copy of all data related to an account 
and or "group" for use elsewhere? Who owns the rights of user submitted 
content on the site?

You're welcome to do as you please as all members are part of the 
governing force here. I'm just letting you know that your logic hasn't 
convinced me that using a 3rd party service to reinvent what we're 
already doing on our very open ended mailing list is a good idea.
