Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

UHH reported a while ago that he couldn't add a file because we'd 
almost reached our limit. I've tried to contact Chris Thackston, who 
founded this group, and Rolf Baehr, who must have become the 
moderator through Chris, to deal with the situation, but both of 
their given addresses came up empty. They do not appear to be 
involved anymore. Yahoo tells me that its privacy policy prevents it 
from appointing a new moderator with the power to manage the files. 
Our options are (1) to ask individuals to delete their own files 
after a certain period of time, (2) to set up another site somewhere 
to add more files as necessary, (3) to have someone start a new 
group altogether, with new moderators, on Yahoo or elsewhere. 

Vern Graner offered to host the group outside Yahoo some time ago. A 
few of us exchanged views about it; a search of the archives 
under "Yahoo" will probably locate the thread. There are pros and 
cons; how strong they are should be a matter of consensus, or at 
least as democratic as possible. To his everlasting credit, Vern is 
already hosting the DTXpressions site formerly handled by Giles 
Hearn. We could certainly keep going as currently constituted on 
Yahoo; the only drawback is that files will accumulate unless we 
periodically delete our own and recommend that others do so as well 
to make more room. Thoughts?
