Re: [IRCA] RFC - creation of a full featured "Groups.io" medium-wave user group/e-mail list

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

We migrated our LBI DXpedition email group there from Yahoo about 15 months
ago and have been very happy. The Sony 2010 group migrated there
successfully from Yahoo a few months ago, and another group I'm a member of
is in the initial stages of converting ( also from Yahoo ).

The NRC group was migrated a while back to Google groups, which hasn't
presented any problems, although for a moderator, Google is a bit more
cumbersome.

I'd highly recommend groups.io.
