[newmellotrongroup] Yahoo Groups and the future

2018-05-25 by Vance Pomeroy

Bruce and Ben -
I've been a long-time 'tron list member going back to the 
pre-Yahoo,'best-lists' days.
When we shifted to Yahoo (16 years ago?), it was a solid choice for 
email groups/lists. However, it's gotten more and more awful through the 
years - (not to mention it's data breach central).
Now it's a probably-soon-to-be-abandoned train-wreck.

As a number of other groups our household belongs to are looking to 
move, they have found https://groups.io/
I'm suggesting we look into changing like we've done (twice) before.
If you're skeptical, read the founder of groups.io (the originator of 
the company that became Yahoo Groups) --
