NOTE: This message is sent to the 429 existing members of the
*BoundaryPoint* group (which was active 2000-2007 and is not to be confused
with the still-active *BorderPoint* group).
As you might have heard, Verizon is about to pull the plug on the vast
majority of the Yahoo Groups website. To quote the company: "Yahoo has
made the decision to no longer allow users to upload content to the Yahoo
Groups site. Beginning October 28 you won't be able to upload any more
content to the site, and as of December 14 all previously posted content on
the site will be permanently removed. You'll have until that date to save
anything you've uploaded."
Since the BoundaryPoint group was effectively succeeded by the BorderPoint
group, and the care of the former was entrusted to me, I have done
everything within my power to preserve the existence and public
accessibility of its extensive and valuable content (its searchable message
archives and its Files, Photos, Database, and Links sections). Soon, all
of that will disappear into the ethers.
So, this is your fair warning: If there is any content on BoundaryPoint
that you wish to preserve, you have until December 14 to do so. Until
then, you can access it via
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/BoundaryPoint/info .
Thank you.
