Thanks for setting up the new egroup Howard!

I've already joined using my Gmail account.

Cheers,

I join the others in thanking you for setting up this group Chuck and Howard!

Yes, this is happening to all Yahoogroups, so I guess inevitable. Happy to migrate to wherever the group decides to move.

I joined in 2007 and have kept an archive as well, but no idea yet how to share it.

Thanks,
Rey

Thank you Bill, and Howard and all, websites I suppose do have to end, just like institutions, and people themselves too, so it's been a good 19 years...

Thanks Chuck and Howard for setting this up so long ago and moderating it for so many years. I've learned a lot here even if I have been mostly quiet. It did give me a great platform to promote our MDI and SMDP workshops for many years and the depth of discussion and sharing were valuable..
For everyone: Please no matter where you are, work against the rising global tide of facism and vote the bastards out while we still have the opportunity!
Wishing everyone peace and good health.

Hi all,

Howard and I set up this email group on Yahoo on 1 May 2001, over 19 years ago. We have 2,656 members. In the past, there was a large amount of discussion on this group, but for various reasons, it currently has little activity.

I just got notice that Yahoo is closing down the email group service tomorrow. They gave not even a week's notice. As of tomorrow, your emails will be returned as unsinkable.

So this is it…. Any discussions will now have to take place on other services you've migrated to. I'm certainly not going to go to the effort of setting up a new group and managing memberships when there is so little activity on the current group.

It has certainly been an interesting (and tumultuous) 19 years. Lots of differing views on the changes that happened in so short a time. Discussions of those views will now need to take place in other venues.

Regards to all,

Chuck Waterfield

And yes… .it's 7am, I need to head out and milk my goats. They are wondering where I am.
