The common ancestor of Nature Recordists and MicBuilders was the
eGroup list
MicDIYers -- it was established before Yahoo! aquired eGroups, and
that was
in 2000 around when the dot-com bubble burst. So Yahoo! kinda neglected
groups for a while, and then recently Groups has suffered some Yahoo!
fication
to deliver more focused eyes to Yahoo!'s advertisers.
Anyone could start another list, post the subscription invitation
here, and see
if any kind of migration happens.
