Re: The Meade group went belly up after Verizon buried Yahoo Groups.
The same happened to the South East (US) area of "Lazy Daze" brand motor home owner group that I belonged to. But, I restarted the group at https://groups.io/ but only a fraction of people moved on to it. There is also an FB version of the group that I have nothing to do with.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

Were you able to point to the new board from the old one?
If not, there's no way most of them would ever know it exists. -- Drew |

I started the new one before the old one vanished.
So I was able to send out messages to direct folks to the new site. Also, I moved many files to the new site. But, it did not make much sense to move messages.

Deja vu
The Meade group ended up on groups.io as well but we lost the file store. That put a serious crimp in the ability to help out new members. There was some effort to keep things going but traffic is pretty much 0 now. |
It’s a pity…

I removed the FB and Twitter apps from my phone, earned back oodles of time.
