amanda lists at yahoo

[Jon LaBadie]

Do any of our readers or poster use the amanda-users and
amanda-hackers lists at yahoo.com?

Apparently yahoo is making major changes to its groups
program and that will cause a loss of all existing data
at the end of the year.

It may have archival value, seems to have the entire
list back to January, 1997.
