this is very true but those who lack basic computer skills were wanting to move this group from a very adequate mailman server to some crippled web based group. Sent from my iPad > On Oct 16, 2019, at 9:04 PM, Nate Bargmann wrote: > > * On 2019 16 Oct 18:20 -0500, Andy Durbin wrote: >> I'm

Sorry,  I'm just dropping in on the thread.  So Yahoo isn't doing well. No surprise. Google started out as an improved search engine, then went down hill.  They too could be replaced and the world would be better off. I note that this Elecraft list is run under mailman and at qth.net the way
