Hi Vance,

Your message came through, and also in the Yahoo Group. It’s probably Yahoo’s servers acting up if you didn’t see it earlier. I see the same problem in another group I moderate.

Thanks for the link to groups.io. I’ll have a look at it, sounds interesting!

Ben

Bruce and Ben -
I've been a long-time 'tron list member going back to the
pre-Yahoo,'best-lists' days.
When we shifted to Yahoo (16 years ago?), it was a solid choice for
email groups/lists. However, it's gotten more and more awful through the
years - (not to mention it's data breach central).
Now it's a probably-soon-to-be-abandoned train-wreck.

As a number of other groups our household belongs to are looking to
move, they have found https://groups.io/
I'm suggesting we look into changing like we've done (twice) before.
If you're skeptical, read the founder of groups.io (the originator of
the company that became Yahoo Groups) --
