Good point Paul.
If a split was tied then this is the sort of thing that should be weighted up.
And I bet migration would not be 100% so we would land up with a fragmented 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.
IMHO May be Blacksheep works so why try fix it. 73 es GL petefmt --- On Sun, 7/3/10, Paul Nicholson <[email protected]> wrote:

It can often take a long time - several hours, for a message
to come through a Yahoo group. 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. 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.
