AC-4 Russia newsgroup question by
[email protected]
Yahoo is shutting down its newsgroups, of which there has been an active one for Russia owners. Has any of files and photos been moved somewhere else? Over time, I have placed a lot of photos and files that improve on the glider, and would be a pity if this information were lost.
