ADMIN: eGroups changing to YahooGroups

[John Walton]

Hi from your friendly Moderator with Rock #47 :)

As some of you may have noticed, eGroups has been swallowed by YahooGroups,
and they're currently in the process of merging the two services together.
What that means for you, Harry A. Listmember, is that at some point, you'll
have to change all your links, bookmarks and other references to eGroups to
YahooGroups, as well as having to get yourself a Yahoo ID.

LINKS, BOOKMARKS AND EMAIL ADDRESSES

For the meantime, however, YahooGroups assure us that old links, bookmarks
and email addresses will work for an unspecified period of time. Those of
you who sort HPforGrownups into a separate file using Outlook, Eudora,
Claris or other email program will need to update your Rules, Sorting or
whatever this process is called sooner, however. The group name,
HPforGrownups, remains the same, but @egroups.com changes to
@yahoogroups.com. If you don't update your sorting process, messages with
yahoogroups.com at the end will end up somewhere else, likely your Inbox.

YAHOO ID

Those folks who joined after the group's transition from YahooClubs to
eGroups probably won't have a Yahoo ID. A Yahoo ID is essentially an alias
or "handle", like "johnwalton_crazyivan" (me), "plinsenmayer" (Penny),
"siriusgeologist" (Carole and occasionally her husband Randy),
"cassandraclaire73" (Cassie). These IDs can be made up of numbers, letters
and _ marks and are also an email address at yahoo.com. We recommend that you
choose a Yahoo ID similar to the name that appears on the email address you
currently use for the eGroup to eliminate confusion (i.e. not
"HermioneLuvr2001" if you've been using "Janine Q. Listmember" on your
emails!) -- add a number or two to the end if you need to.

Of course, the Moderator Team will keep you informed of all the news from
YahooGroups.

Cheers,

--John
