I had forgotten that this list inserts the "dmarc-" into all Verizon
addresses as a workaround to Verizon's misprogrammed spam filter,
which discarded all messages from my list as spam.  Similarly with
Yahoo addresses.

A member could have maintained their own archive, as I do for this
list.  I guess everyone was either too lazy or had too much faith in
Yahoo.  I hope someone is maintaining an archive of the new list, in
case Google ever gets rid of their archive of it.  And also because
people without Google accounts can't view Google's archive of it,
as far as I can tell.

I have no opinion on whether the club should move from Google to
Groups.io.  But I think it's a bad idea to have two lists.  The club
should vote for one or the other.  It's also a bad idea for the club
not to keep its own archive, no matter who is hosting.  I encouraged
the club to mirror my archives of this list, but I see the wsfa.org
copy hasn't been updated since I left in 2005.  (At least it's back
online, as are the 30 years of WSFA Journals I put online.  For about
a year, they were offline.)
