Yes, the Atlas Craftsman lathe group moved a few months ago,
and it has been a mostly positive experience. One issue was
that groups.io was not able to get all the files and photos
content off the Yahoo group, so somebody that had a full
backup had to go and cherry pick the missing files.
Many of the ones that didn't come across SEEMED to be there,
but the contents of the file were empty.

But, now that we've switched, it is all running much better
than with Yahoo. If you read the info on Yahoo, they pretty
much declare they are giving minimal (or less) maintenance
and support to the groups.
