    <p>For many of the reasons you list we will be rolling all the

                that will require.</p>
              <p>I have every post to the list dating back to its start

                      <p>As the NW-Mailing-List approaches 30 years of
                        existence, the time has come to make some
                        changes.</p>
                      <p>The Mailman software which has been running the
                        list for over 21 years has become unsupportable.
                        Complying with the increasing number and
                        complexity of anti-spam and other e-mail filters
                        on the Internet has reached a breaking point.
                        Our provider Pair.com announced that they will
                        end support for mailing lists at the end of this
                        year.</p>
                      <p>After reviewing our options, we determined that
                        <b>groups.io</b> is our best option for
                        continuing to maintain the NW-Mailing-List.<br>
                        Groups.io expanded features such as file and
                        photo sharing should make the NW-Mailing-List a
                        better tool for sharing our collective knowledge
                        and resources. Another consideration was that
                        groups.io will not resell our email addresses or
                        target marketing material to you.<br>
                      </p>
                      <p>Sometime <b>Wednesday </b>you will receive an
                        email from Groups.io notifying you that you have
                        been added to the groups.io NW-Mailing-List. A
                        link is included in the email for logging in and
                        establishing an account password. (Yes another
                        darn password!) Fortunately you will not need
                        the password to participate in the
                        NW-Mailing-List. Messages will continue to be
                        email based although now a web interface is
                        available for those that prefer that choice. The
                        difference will be that emails will be sent to
                        <<b><a
                            href="mailto:nw-mailing-list@groups.io"
                            moz-do-not-send="true"
                            class="moz-txt-link-freetext">nw-mailing-list@groups.io</a></b>>
                        instead of to the nwhs.org domain. </p>
                      <p>As we make this transition, <b>check your
                          email spam settings</b> and make sure the
                        address <a
                          href="mailto:nw-mailing-list@groups.io"
                          moz-do-not-send="true"><nw-mailing-list@groups.io></a>
                        is whitelisted so you will see all the messages
                        from the list.</p>
                      <p>If you are already using groups.io with the
                        same e-mail address, NW-Mailing-List will show
                        up in Your Groups.<br>
                        If you are new to groups.io, please click on the
                        link included in the email to establish a
                        password to go with your email address. This
                        will unlock a web interface where you can
                        customize the way messages are sent and received
                        from your account.<br>
                      </p>
                      <p>If you want to opt out of the new mailing list,
                        email Ron at <a href="mailto:davis@nwhs.org"
