Dale,

I don't care how I got there, the result is what I need.

How you got there tells me something about what tools are available to you. No use suggesting things you can't do.

There are no moderators, 1 owner who is locked out (and I assume would
be if using PG Offline too) ...

Correct. Probably.

If he can't sign in then chances are that PG Offline would have no better luck presenting those same credentials. The one possibility would be if his inability to sign in has to do with browser issues or something other than not knowing his ID or password or his account being disabled for some reason.

Having hosted groups is nice in theory, but what happens when the
owner dies or goes on to other interests. It would also make
creating a group something that would require a significant amount of
technical skill.

True. Succession planning would be even more important with self-hosted software like PG Online, or a Mailman list, or the similar options out there. And a bit more selective, as the next in line would need to be able to handle the technology.

Our newly created groups.io group has 30 members. The Yahoo group had
652, though the PG Offline member import shows 628.

If you were a moderator you could export the members list from the Y!Group, and then use Direct Add to bring them all into the Groups.io group. On the Upgrade page click on View/Change Plan. One of the options there is the Group Transfer plan (Premium For One Month). That would allow you to use Direct Add a single $10 payment for a month's usage.

Or you could do that anyway, with all the email addresses you happen to have. That might be just people who posted, if you kept emails from the group.

Shal
