And now for a peek behind the curtain. . . It looks like the formal technical merge of eGroups with Yahoo is now about to occur,probably within the next week or two. They are in final "beta" test now. If all goes well, you'll notice nothing. However, it's software. And Murphy's law is still in force. In preparation I am periodically backing up the subscriber list. If they happen to dump everything, I'll know who you all are with the exception of very recent subscribers. If anything goes terribly wrong and things get really quiet, please check at www.dmcnews.com for details. If the list goes away or has to be moved, that's where I'll tell you what is going on. I will not send out 1000 direct emails from my account, my ISP would probably think I was a spammer and dump ME. Hoping all goes well; Dave Swingle Moderator of Moderators
