Group I received the following announcement today. This should have no immediate impact, but based on the experience with eGroups last merge, and reported annoyances when Yahoo took over GeoCities, I thought I post a reminder that if the list EVER falls apart due to mechanical issues, please check at www.dmcnews.com for latest information. If I have any information on difficulties with operation of the list that's where I'll post it. I do not plan any immediate changes, but will be looking into alternatives in case I feel that this is not going in a good direction. Keep your fingers crossed, don't expect any changes for a few months at least. The merger will not be finalized until September/October.
