Yahoo booting us out

2019-10-18 by Nigel Cruickshank

As some of you may know, as of December 14th Yahoo will delete any files or images uploaded or attached to the groups. Also, I believe they are moving to permanently end the Yahoo groups site from what I have read. It would be heartbreaking to lose the valuable info on this group
