I would disagree with this version of the requirements to sign up for the
new list.
After receiving Richard's invitation to the new list, all I did was send
the subscribe message as instructed in his message. A short time later I
received the email requesting confirmation and I replied to that message.
I then received a message saying that I was subscribed.
There is no need to go through the process of setting up a Yahoo account
and a Yahoo email account. You can subscribe to the new list just as you
did to the old list.
Thank you,

Please respond to
"Werner, James K"
I enthusiastically agree with Rachel's message but can understand the
decision to abandon support of the list.
On behalf of the all the subscribers, I would like to ask for an extension
of the deadline while we settle the question of where to go.
I took Richard Druckenmiller's suggestion and tried subscribing to the
Yahoo EDI-L group. Here's what I had to do:
1. establish a Yahoo user account - its free; requires a userid and
password, you pick'em; user id clash resolution is ok.
2. establish a Yahoo email account - yeah, its a separate request;
yahoo will suggest using the Yahoo user id but you don't have to.
3. subscribe to the EDI-L group
This is all well and good but I want the EDI-L mail in a digest form, sent
my company hosted email account. This requires me to 'convert' ( a Yahoo
term ) my company email address. This process failed and I have started an
email dialogue with the Yahoo techies....
So, now I have yet another user id, password and email account added to an
already too large list of personalized computing resources.
Perhaps we can find another list server host that would be more interested
in the topic. Perhaps DISA?
