Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Public and private groups?

[Richard L. <ce...@l-...>]

We abandoned Yahoo! groups a long time ago;  I'm not going back to

I do apologize for not being more active.

Real Life changes do that to you.

Do feel free to start whatever mailing list you like, and invite
anybody you want.

I'm not interested in leaving this one, personally, as I've gotten a
lot out of it.
