<p>Martin,</p>
<p>For many of the reasons you list we will be rolling all the
groups into one. </p>
<p>Lists on groups.io has the ability to filter content folks are
not interested in which eliminates the need for separate lists.</p>
<p>Thank you for your feedback.</p>

<p>Matt,</p>
<p>We will be preserving the existing Archive, though it
may not be on groups.io. We are still looking into what
that will require.</p>
<p>I have every post to the list dating back to its start
in 1996. We would like to include those messages in the
archive as well.</p>
<p>If there is anyone out there who would like to give us
a hand migrating the archive, email us at <a href="mailto:web_team@nwhs.org"><web_team@nwhs.org></a></p>

<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">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"><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"><davis@nwhs.org></a>
before noon on Wednesday. If you miss the
deadline, there will be a link in the groups.io
email to unsubscribe.</p>
<p>Thank you all for participating and
contributing to this amazing source of
N&W/VGN information.</p>
<p>Ron Davis</p>
