Good point Paul.
=A0
If a split was tied then this is the sort of thing that should be weighted=
 up.
=A0
And I bet migration would not be 100% so we would land up with a fragmente=
d group. I think the UK 500kHz group is the best alternative after all it=
 is established with little impact on the RSGB thingy and does the things=
 Roger is advocating.
=A0
IMHO May be Blacksheep works so why try fix it.

It can often take a long time - several hours, for a message
to come through a Yahoo group.=A0 Useless for activity alerts.
Sometimes messages are lost completely, or appear in the
group archives but are not received by email.

Maybe, so long as Yahoo continue the service.=A0 There's nothing
to stop them pulling the plug on a group - or all groups for that
matter, if business policy changes.

One of the nice things about joining the LF list is to find a
simple no-nonsense email reflector with a short reliable
round-trip time - so refreshing compared with the Yahoo monster
clunky too-full-of-features unreliable group server.
