Greetings,
The constituency, expertise and variety on this group is
magnificent and we mess with this at our peril.
The benefits of a Yahoo group over the venerable Blacksheep
are plain. That's _A_ Yahoo group. Everybody's perfectly
capable of weeding out things which are irrelevant to them;
we don't need anything other than a more modern vehicle.
It's likely wisest that the group move en-masse, altogether,
at once, to A newly established group steadfastly resisting
the siren call of "Ooh! A group for This! A group for
That!". Leave nothing here but a daily "we've moved..."
notice for a while, even disabling the reflector itself.
Generally I cringe whenever "Yay! A New Group!" comes up
anywhere - it's usually ego-driven and achieves little other
than worthwhile content being splintered, orphaned and
ultimately lost. The biggest and saddest effect, though, is
on the critical mass and flavour of the original group. What
gives me hope here is that no-one seems to be fighting for
'control' ("Come to MY group!") and that those most upset by
the idea are missing the point or fear non-existent bogeymen.
Have at it!
