Hi all,


Given all the changes to Yahoo recently, I'm not sure how long they will keep running groups.yahoo.com. To avoid our group disappearing into the digital afterlife, I've set up a new version of this group at https://groups.io/g/dieselMercedes. The new group is empty right now, but read on for details...


groups.io was started by the same guy (and former boss of mine) who started Onelist, which Yahoo bought and turned into Yahoo Groups. So I think groups.io is a trustworthy service.


They offer the ability to transfer Yahoo Groups, and I'm going to take them up on this feature. This will preserve all our message archives and photos. It will *not* preserve attachments to messages. It will also transfer the member list to groups.io. As a result, you will likely receive an email from them announcing the transfer.


I don't hand out your email addresses lightly (haven't done this before). If you don't want to have your email address shared with groups.io, please unsubscribe from this group by 11:59 pm (Eastern US time) Friday, November 24, 2017. Otherwise, I will complete the transfer sometime this weekend. You can resubscribe here after this weekend and your email won't be shared with groups.io


I will leave this group up and running as long as Yahoo (or whoever owns the Yahoo name now) keeps it going. You are welcome to post here as long as you want. You can post to both/either groups. You can also leave the groups.io group if you don't like it and your membership in this Yahoo group won't be affected.


If anyone feels strongly against this move to groups.io, feel free to respond this message. Happy to hear anyone's thoughts on alternative services we could use. I don't want to maintain a bunch of different new sites, though, so if you prefer a different service, you'll have to convince many other members to agree with you :)


Happy Thanksgiving to our US members and hello to everyone outside the US!

Have you tried the highest rated email app?
With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.
