Ouch. Derek, you're a silly guy.
My research today turned up that we are far from alone with this problem. And other groups are having even worse problems. It would seem that the problems with the system run deep.
I've looked up a couple potential new sites: Groupbox and Groups.io
Both have their pros and cons. The big plus for io (besides the fact that is founded by a former Yahoo developer) is that they're capable of handling the migration from YahooGroups over to their servers. It may take a few days, but we wouldn't lose all of the posts that people have provided over the years (and there's some really good stuff on here that you guys have posted) and email addresses would be ported over as well. There would be very little work that I or you would have to do.
With Groupbox, we'd be leaving all of the old stuff behind. Not that it would get deleted in the short run anyway; I know of groups that have been dead for several years and are still there if you look for them. Yahoo's new masters may decide that orphan groups should be terminated.
io does have limits on its free stuff. We couldn't store more than a GB of files (not that we do anyway). Otherwise, we'd have to pay $10/month. I already pay for my website. I'm not about to pay for a mailing list. Fortunately, messages *don't* count towards that storage limit, so we'd be safe.
Groupbox has no limits and makes all of its revenue from ads.
Google is a bad idea. There are people saying that it's as bad as Yahoo now.
When I get the time, I'll post the pros and cons of each service here.
There's still a chance that Yahoo will fix this, but I won't hold my breath. I don't think there's much financial incentive for them to do so.
If anyone would like to weigh in on this subject, please do.

I'm going to see if someone at Yahoo tech support can figure this out. If not, it may be time to consider a new host for this mailing list.

Subject: [Traveller_TNE] Daily Digest
Sorry to bother everyone, but is anyone having problems receiving the Daily Digest from Yahoo? I haven't received any for the carrier question I asked. Last one I got was December 30th.
In general, I've been having problems with Yahoo for email ever since they joined up with Verizon (sour grapes from AT&T?). I'd hate to think that Groups was being messed with as well.
If I'm not the only one having problems here, I'll see if I can bring it to tech support's attention. If I am the only one, I'll just switch email addresses.
