   Well, if there still existed a group messages history, if we stop
messaging to Yahoo and periodically post a message pointing to
group.io, I guess that in no time the only message that history would
be the one pointing to the new group.

  Without history I don't now what will happen.

  Anyway I thing we should just stop messaging here at all.
