I think that is EXACTLY what happened.? I have created a new group called REALGroupName.
I never received any email from Yahoo! about this and while I saw the message on the page, it was referring to content, not that Yahoo! Groups was effectively going away (saying it is still an email list is SO disingenuous).
Is there a simple way to still extract the membership list from the Yahoo! group?? I am still owner on that list.
Thanks to ALL of you for your help.? It is sincerely appreciated.
