Of course you are right. I see now how my perspective as an isolated G1G1

the world! If  specific deployments are using custom Activity Groups, then
my point is moot. My experience is with the various groups on the wiki,
joyride, G1G1 etc., some of which are massive.
Thanks for the tip, Scott. I only feel slightly silly.
