Essentially, yes.

Because the official moderator hasn't been seen for ages, and AIUI
Yahoo!Groups won't appoint a new moderator unless the old one requests
it.

There used to be a moderator, but they have not been heard from in a
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time... The only possible answer is to start a new
group or go somewhere else. Shavian2 anyone?

Does it have to be a Yahoo!Group?

How about something hosted on shavian.org? IIRC it's possible to set
up mailing lists there; I'll have to talk to Scott about how that
works.

True, but then you lose a lot of the available advertising from Yahoo.

Just a thought.

To be honest I don't think we ever got any advertising from Yahoo. Most of
the traffic we get I'm sure comes from Google or following links from
language/alphabet enthusiast sites.

That's probably true. That's how I found it. I can't remember
which site it was, though.

Hi Everybody

I don't really see the problem. Create a new Yahoo group called
ShawAlef;
and if that gets spammed we go to ShawBet. We put a note in Shavian
redirecting New users to ShawAlef.
Can we put forward 2 names together for Moderator, so that G-d
Forbid, if someone dies or disappears, we can still keep the
ShawAlef Yahoo Group going.
I hope Hugh will be one of the Moderators.

Regards, Paul V.
P.S. We can leave the old Shavian group alive while we switch
current activity to the Yahoo ShawAlef group.

Hi Paul

Thanks for your vote of confidence in me... I would be happy to do it if
needed.

Perhaps a better name for a new group would be "shawalphabet" since that is
the original, official name for the alphabet after all ('Shavian' was a
later invention).

Spam would not be a problem because posters who join the group purely to
spam could easily be removed from the membership by the moderator in charge.
