Google and Yahoo offer alternatives so thank you for the iniative - also - we could create
a facebook group? What do you think?

We MIGenWeb currently owns two (both) MI Mailing Lists. I plan to make a list thru
Google and put it online. We have a Facebook page and I think one mailing list should do
it. The county lists will all be shut down. I’m not certain of how many will be opened
elsewhere. A few of them are active but some are just dead.
As new lists are made, we will be announcing on our State page and also on Facebook.
I’ll be starting on the new lists next week and will let everyone know which new ones that
are started. I can send notice from our current RW lists to you until March.
Needless to say, I’m not happy about this, but unless we have at least a State page, at
least we can communicate.
They say the message boards will stay, but, I wonder if they will be the next to go.
