Fortunately, the reality isn't quite so stark. Yahoogroups will lose most of its web interface, but it will still be possible to send e-mails to groups. This is worth reading:

As someone said on another mailing list I'm on: 'Basically, it's going back to the vanilla mailing list service that

Well, if anything is left, it will certainly be better than nothing left at all. However, once the web interface disappears - the possibility to visit a website - it won't be much fun any more, not for me at least. I want a website I can visit, not just my mailbox.
I've always thought that receiving e-mails from this Group is optional; you can opt in and receive them, or opt out and only visit the website if you wish. I may be wrong on this, though. In any case, right now you cannot just send an e-mail to the other Group members, can you? I believe you can only post a message, which is (also) sent as an e-mail to the Group members (either all of them, or perhaps only those who opted to receive messages, I'm not sure which it is). When only messages are left, I guess it wouldn't make much sense to opt out of them...
