But E106 is only available to people that are still employed by a UK employer or still paying into the NHS (working in Italy on temporary secondment, for example), or whose NI payments are up to date and are using the E106 for only 2.5 years cover in Italy without working, no?
Yep, that's why my post above includes the options available to the Group creater:"No, it's up to the group-starter if the group is open to all members or not, just like on the old board (remember the Rat and Carrot?): Membership requests: * Open - membership requests are accepted immediately. Moderated - membership requests must be approved. Invite only - membership must be created by an administrator. Closed - membership is exclusively managed by an administrator."

Other than sempre_italia, most seem to have elected open membership. "With groups - am I now right in thinking that when I log on and see those first 16 or so pages I am not seeing all the posts?"The posts in an open group also appear here in the piazza, so you needn't join a group to see them. The group is just a convenient spot where they are all located together, like a sub-forum on the old board. In fact, the group a post is from is printed above the post title in the piazza.
If I understand Kevin, the problem isn't not being able to post, but to even read content, and know whether they would be interested in asking to join."If I log out and visit your group as an anonymous user then I see just your welcome message and that there are 9 comments. But I can't read the comments. I can't really make a decision on whether or not to join your group just by reading the welcome message alone."
"So not only don't I have the time to navigate my way around to find out how all these new fangled gismos work, every minute also costs me money."I recommend getting Telecom Italia flat rate dial up- paying by the minute isn't a good value.

It varies by region. My neighbors (both over 75) pay nothing for Rx or treatment, equipment like wheelchairs, etc.
