I was at a Tradition meeting tonight (we read Five), and I noticed for the first time that it says,"Each group has but one primary purpose – to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers."

I don't know why "its" jumped out at me this evening. Does this imply that there is more than one message?

I'm just curious what others think or if this has been a topic of discussion before. I know words are important, and most of the words in the literature seem pretty well chosen.

OK, off to make popcorn...
