Steve ...
I've forwarded you directly off group an email I received as a Yahoo Moderator. It clearly states that 'private' groups will persist.
Please consider it.
This being the case (which would also allay any concerns about spam in a public group) it seems to me that the way to go is to simply find a repository for content, e.g., archive of group comments and files, and continue to communicate through the existing group.
What is not clear is whether email messages that have been archived will persist and whether ongoing emails will be archived.
Not that Verizon cares, but their communications to date have raised a host of unanswered questions.

Excellent questions about whether or not any of the options will open members up to spam and will e-mail addresses be vulnerable.� I will try to find out.
There are currently discussion groups/threads--some people have been at Gearslutz and FB. Not sure if anyone else here plans to join Encyclotronic.� Personally, I think more forums is good.
My top interest is in preserving the wisdom that has accumulated in the discussions. If spam avoidance cannot be guaranteed and/or e-mail addresses become more vulnerable, there is another option: Obtain the conversations and edit them into new FAQs sheets, preferably with an index. Contributor's tips, suggestions, etc. could be listed with name attributions.� I will look into that as well.
Today is 3 days after October 28th. I am wondering if this will be posted or sent out as e-mails to approx.2000 individuals.� Verizon did say it was going to an e-mail only system. Arrrrgggghhhhh.
