Re: OT - Yahoo Adv.

Tom, Cleavis, All,

I agree that the ad level has gotten out of hand. Antonis and I 
certainly have no objection to relocating the group, but lack the 
resources and knowledge to make it happen.

The biggest barrier to moving is how do we take the existing archive 
of several thousand posts with us to a new location?

It would be nice to be on a commercial free server but since this is 
a non-profit enterprise that is not an option.

If anyone knows how to move and take everything but the ads with us 
let me know.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
