Hmmm... it's not at all uncommon for family members/friends of migraineurs to
post to alt.support.headaches-migraine. They often have questions/concerns
about their family members and friends.

Depends on the charter, and the membership. In AIP, for instance,
anyone who is not a primary infertile is not welcome per the charter,
but if someone were to post "how can I help my friend", that probably
*would* be welcomed, although most likely the person would be sent to
the alt.infertility subgroup, as that is the appropriate place to ask
that question. Most support groups tend to try to keep their
membership pretty clean (for good reason).
