Hello Group,
I am another “lurker”, but have
greatly appreciated the LF reflector over the years.
I also have a Yahoo account and follow
other radio-related groups on there, so I would be quite happy if the reflector
moved onto Yahoo.

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.
