NEW GENEALOGICAL Interest Group Forming
Description
This group is for people researching family history who are concerned about
abuses that hinder such research, and wish for constructive means to stop
such hindrances and promote fair exchange.
The Canadian census crisis I think is covered by that description as well as
certain companies who charge for information given freely to them by
researchers.
We are hoping that this will prevent some off-subject discussions on other
surname or area-specific lists, while we are at it. Please let others know
on lists which have not received this message by tomorrow. You have
permission to cut and paste to invitations only.

Just don't do it while Yahoo is down. They posted this:
As noted on our web site earlier this week, the Yahoo! Groups service will
be down for scheduled maintenance Friday March 15 9:00 PM PST (GMT-8) as we
move our servers to a new facility. We expect the service to be restored
late Saturday or early AM Sunday March 17.
During this time the web site will be unavailable and email will not be
delivered. (Some users may experience email non-delivery notices, but email
will be delivered once service has resumed.) Please note: Once the service
is back up, there will be email delays due to backlog. We expect these
delays to last no longer than 1 day. Please do not resend email to your
group as it will only add to delays.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
