On the other hand, there is still a potential gotcha. As far as I know, you must use the same Yahoo account email address for your account on groups.io.
I have wondered about this and the possible implications in a sort of detached way.
Let us consider a hypothetical person who is currently the member of a Yahoo group that is being migrated to Groups.io. That person will (obviously) have an email address associated with that Yahoo group.
However, the same person may already have a Groups.io Account covering other Groups.io groups. and
might have a different email address as the account identifier. The migration process will not realise that the two people are in fact one and the same and will set about creating another account using the email address imported from Yahoo.
I know the resultant muddle is not insoluble but I can well envisage quite a few confused people trying to work out what has happened.
