What happened to SmartGroups? Why are we a Yahoo! Groups now?

SmartGroups changed to Wanadoo Clubs. SmartGroups didn’t have the “Special Announcement” option for e-mail settings, didn’t notify list owners of critical and lengthy downtimes or changes (including the change to Wanadoo Clubs) and was not as reliable as Yahoo! Groups can be. On 5/5/04, I moved the list over to Yahoo! Groups and I hope our move to Yahoo! Groups will offer our list improved service and reliability. San Francisco is too far, where can I find a group like this closer to where I live? Our membership includes residents from all over Northern California – many live in the San Francisco Bay Area counties, and in cities throughout Northern California from Mendocino to Grass Valley to Santa Cruz. You may want to see if other members would be willing to work with you on driving to pick-up orders, so you don’t have to drive a long distance each month.
