I have moved a few groups from yahoo to groups.io <http://groups.io/>: the Korg Polysix and MonoPoly lists are merged to a generic Vintage Korg group: https://vintagekorg.groups.io/g/Maillist <https://vintagekorg.groups.io/g/Maillist>, and the Mellotron group has been moved to https://groups.io/g/Mellotron <https://groups.io/g/Mellotron>. These were full (paid) migrations, and truly painless. Unfortunately groups.io <http://groups.io/> doubled the fee to do a full migration to $220 shortly after that. But you can still setup a free group and do things manually (except recreate the message archive), as described below. I already have a full archive of this group, and I’d be willing to setup a new one on groups.io <http://groups.io/>. Ben > On 16 Nov 2019, at 14:17, pwkrokodil@...
