Hi Roger
Why not go for it and start it yourself.
We know some will not move so it will be an additional facility.
Please make sure it is has no taboo, frequencies, modes, opinions,
or subjects rules, and no childish sulking.

With the latest outage (5 days already) may I again
suggest that the LF-reflector migrates to a Yahoo group?
In over 10 years I have rarely had delays in messages, outages, or
problems with any group to which I belong or moderate.
Instead they have had these advantages:
- Messages can be read on the web if preferred (saves
cluttered in-boxes)
- There is rarely a delay of more than a few minutes before
messages are received.
- All messages are archived and searchable.
- Large files can be stored.
- Photos can be stored - 100Gigs worth.
- Links can be stored/shared
- Videos can be stored.
- Polls can be run.
- Messages can be vetted if preferred (by a number of
moderators to speed up the process)
- Difficult members can be banned in exceptional
circumstances.
- Spam messages can be filtered
- Calendars can be set up (for sked times, news of tests etc)
The advantages go ON and ON and, frankly, I simply cannot
understand why the change hasn't made years ago. With the problems
this week it is surely time.
To set up a new Yahoo group called "LF-reflector" (or whatever)
would take about 30 seconds and migration to it by all interested
members here would take about a day at most. All you need is to
agree a group name, who owns it, who can moderate posts and some
basic group ground rules/FAQs.
Please, think about it again.
