Okay, let's see if I can distill it down. Please somebody jump in and correct me when I get things wrong.
Yahoo Groups entire, and Master and Apprentice specifically, will be dead as of December 15. I knew it was coming since last year and should have run a pot on it, but anyway. I set up a Dreamwidth community called masterandapprentice (https://masterandapprentice.dreamwidth.org/) and have been mirroring posts over there for a while now. There are other MA-type communities on Dreamwidth as well.
Recently I was made aware of another mailing list-type thing called Groups IO (https://groups.io/) where we could set up Master and Apprentice again. It looks as though it runs very much like Yahoo groups and is pretty easy to get to and to send/receive mail to. I know that there are some of us who would rather continue using a mailing list than go to Dreamwidth, which is NOT the same thing, so the question is begged -- should I go ahead and start an IO Group for us or just let everything slide.
I'll go with whatever the consensus is. And I'm mirroring this over on the DW community as well.
