Thanks, Shal!!!?
One more question or potential stumbling block: Once I've established the group, suppose a friend recommends it to someone without a account. I understand that people don't need an account to be ?invited? to the group and join it. But how would a person without an account request membership??
I'm sure this is simple, but I haven't come up to speed yet. I'm worried about future new members being able to find the group and request membership without me being actively involved. Could the person recommending the group send a link??
Related to this is that I haven't seen groups come up in google searches, yet yahoo groups are very findable by their subject matter. I am worried in general about potential new members not finding us and/or not having an easy enrollment mechanism if they don't already have an account. This is the biggest hurdle in my mind of transferring over.
Thanks!

Hmm... It might have parsed better if I had used a couple of
commas:
?The "bad
news" in that message, with respect to Yahoo Groups, is made
?better in subsequent messages in that thread.
But what I really meant is "read the whole thread".
The first message in it has paragraphs marked "good news" and
"bad news" - the bad news paragraph essentially said that
importing messages from Yahoo Groups is hopeless. That turned out not to
be the case.
