Re: [newmellotrongroup] Yahoo Groups and the future

Hi Vance,

Your message came through, and also in the Yahoo Group. It’s probably Yahoo’s servers acting up if you didn’t see it earlier. I see the same problem in another group I moderate.

Thanks for the link to groups.io <http://groups.io/>. I’ll have a look at it, sounds interesting!

Ben
