best move this swiftly to another groups host... smartgroups is closing down.

Just had a warning email from smartgroups to say so.

Sorry to be the bearer..

Can all the files on here be saved and moved somewhere else? Or has that already been done?

Some are saved, others will be. Ditto on the two remaining specialist groups, backlash-lobbying and backlash-research. They have been inactive for months but have files worth keeping. I'll try to extract the messages to some usable form.

We weren't expecting Smartgroups to go like this, but luckily we did set up a replacement because of the delays it's been having. Surely you both (Kat & Rosalee) know, I think you've joined the new forum.

Anyway, the replacement for this is at http://www.seenoevil.org.uk
It has a message forum and a wiki. Please go there and join.

That's good about the files.

I do know about the forums, yes, and I've joined. I had the impression that this group was being wound down because of them and the delays in posting but I wasn't sure if it was being abandoned altogether.
