KathyK:

HPFGU will be closed to posting from Midnight July 21 BST through 9pm
July 24 BST.  Details can be found here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter/message/32312

The problem with the main page not loading properly is unrelated to
Yahoo!Groups and should not cause anyone difficulty logging in or
visiting the group.  Our hpfgu.org site is down temporarily and is
causing the trouble with the main HPFGU page display.  

And, ugh, millions?  I should hope not.  I think the list elves are
pretty prepared for a jump in membership and posting but millions
might cause some panic. ;)
