ADMIN: Egroups Bought by YAHOO

["Dave Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

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.
