Re: bug update

Have posted the message below to the blog
<http://www.ygroupsblog.com/blog/2009/05/26/bug-update/>, so folks who are
interested can now leave comments there (although, as I mention on the blog, if
you want to report an additional issue, commenting on the blog is not a
substitute for contacting Customer Care).

In addition, I added to the blog post an additional bug, which I inadvertently
left off the original message below: this is the "disappearing text in replies"
bug, which is affecting some users:

actually begin migrating more groups as early as tomorrow (although I think
Thursday (Pacific Time) is more realistic). And assuming he encounters no
unexpected problems, we should still be able to have all groups that have signed
up to be migrated on the new system by the end of the month.
