[R-390] Survey to Consider Moving R-390 Mail List to Groups.IO

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

Good luck “changing” all the search references. I had a very obscure reference made back
about 20 years ago. It was there for at most 2 years. Despite a range of efforts over the years
it *still* shows up when people do searches.

A page at the current location that points to the new one is about all that will “work for sure”.
That only works for as long as it stays up.

Bob
