Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Yahoo Groups shutdown on 12/15

No, I'm just a member. I was replying to your comment about setting up any possible new group on Google Groups, and suggested groups.io as an even better alternative. Chad is the moderator here. He doesn't seem interested in migrating the group elsewhere, but he might change his mind at some point in the future. Or someone else entirely might start a brand new group with the same focus.

Once Yahoo Groups close down at some point today, this mailing list is gone, and nobody will know what is happening re: starting a new group or not, so I'm just stating the obvious. If it DOES happen, it will be on one or the other of those two platforms, as there are no other really viable alternatives out there.
