List of Yahoo Groups
This is a list of known LP-related Yahoo! Groups. The action item is to copy these lists for posterity before they get deleted, presumably with little advance warning. Little advance warning has turned out to be 14 December 2019.
Some of these groups still have traffic, and may require additional passes as time progresses.
Please add to this list as more are found. An indicated assessment of priority for each is probably also in order.

This is a list of groups we want to save. If somebody has been able to download the contents, the second column shows who, in what format, and when. If the second column is "*", we don't know of a successful download yet and we need to get it done!

To the committee in general
I never knew there were two "reform caucuses" - this is one here that shared the LPRC abbreviation - the yahoo group for it has been deleted

I cannot find the archive for the main Reform Caucus - that is valuable to preserve. I know some folks that might have it. The Yahoo Group search function for Libertarian groups is erroring out. I am sure there are a lot more to find. The LPRadicals one is of particular interest as David Nolan participated in it frequently but he might have participated in many others. I just know of those as they were mentioned in Wes Benedict's book.
