Microfinance Practice: Re: [MFP] MFP is completely coming to an end tomorrow

CHUCK and colleagues

Thank you ... I was pretty active in the early days, but have slowed down as my age caught up with me. Bottom line, I hope the activism associated with the early days will move with the times and remain active because it is needed now more than ever.

Best wishes to everyone ... and feel free to reach out to me if there is anything I am doing that resonates with you .

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
