Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 I can't explain the discrepancy in the message number, but I believe the answer is yes. I have been on another mailing list for years, and it used to be a different domain before egroups - I can't even remember what. Then the ownership went over to egroups and later on to yahoo. Every switch meant quite a hassle - the old ID had to pointed to the new one and it did not always go smoothly. I am not exactly computer illiterate and I knew I did not do anything wrong, but the system had its glitches and it was very frustrating.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 Hi, I've been with this discussion group almost from the beginning. I joined in mid-November 1998 and I believe this group started on November 5, 1998. This discussion group used to be on egroups until Yahoo bought them in 2000 (i'm not sure of the exact time this happened), and our discussion group was moved to Yahoo Groups. Our discussion group has over 40,000 messages. Message #1 was created when the group was first formed in October 1998, and we've counted each message that we've received sequentially by one. Escribe may have 175,000 messages in total in their archives for message boards, but that includes other message boards not just ours. Here's a link to the first ever message on this discussion board. If you keep going through the messages, you'll see that it does go to 41,000+. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rosacea-support/messages/1 I hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 All correct, just filling in the missing bits ; the group was started as rosacea-support@... they then created themselves as eGroups, as a startup company (if you ask for http://www.makelist.com you get redirected to groups.yahoo.com). They were successful as a startup because they got bought out by Yahoo! None of the changes from makelist to egroups to yahoo resulted in a change of message indexing. What did complicate things was the requirement to get a Yahoo!ID to register via the web site, not always smooth for everyone. Also over time eGroups change the way we logged in as they scaled the operation to thousands of groups. The eScribe site is a backup archive of messages starting from March 26 1999. Their search facility is much better than yahoo's. yahoo's is much more superficial - only indexing the first x bytes of each message, and only the last y messages. X and Y are never disclosed - I don't know what they are. They are up to 37,000 messages, so about 3,000 are missing from eScribe. davidp. r> Hi, r> I've been with this discussion group almost from the beginning.
