A little more research about this Group might have proven useful had it been conducted earlier. Looking at what can be seen of it on Yahoo the traffic level dropped off markedly by about 2015, with there only being 3 messages in 2017.

However, a quick search here on Groups.io found this: /g/kenwood-r5000 which was founded in September 2017, but with only 19 topics listed and its last listed post being June 18th it does look as though it is rather quiet.The Message History rather confirms this. It has 99 members which is a lot fewer than those recorded for the Yahoo Group.?

Yes,? that is the group I created since I could not even post to the yahoo group and could not get moderator or owner's attention.

Now it may be that the Group.io group and the Yahoo one are totally unrelated, although the dates rather suggest otherwise.\
They are related but only because I thought I had to create the groups.io group.? The yahoo group is on auto join so no approval is needed but no new user can post to the yahoo group because the owner/moderator is mia and has been for years now as evidenced by the fact that I have been a member for over 2 years and still can't get a message to be approved so it posts.? I have tried once per 2 months and the message always dies after 14 days with no moderator or owner approval.

That is the reason for the question and exercise.? If a group is abandoned I felt there should be a way to resurrect it,? Yes the list is low volume now but with 2600 yahoo members still there I felt the list had a purpose and could obviously not continue on Yahoo as no one that buys the piece of equipment and wishes to join the group to get or share info can do that at all.

Thank you.

I suggest that anyone wanting to find this group looks a bit closer to "home"!
