'Mel,
Knowing Yahoos track record, I don't think it is that simple, and I
don't think it is worth taking the chance on assuming. Once the info
is gone, it gone for good.
Here is what it states at the beginning:
Yahoo has made the decision to no longer allow users to upload content
to the Yahoo Groups site. Beginning October 21, you won't be able to
upload any more content to the site, and as of December 14 all
previously posted content on the site will be permanently removed.
You'll have until that date to save anything you've uploaded.
What features will go away?

So, it seems like yahoo is leaving a skeleton version of groups that
can only communicate via email. This goes for all groups, and on top
of that, there further seem to state that there will no longer be an
option for public groups. Do realize that the initial message is
addressing ALL groups. As it states "Yahoo Group Site", this means
Yahoo Groups period. Also, consider this, if Yahoo meant only public
groups, it would not have posted the message on this group, knowing
that it is a private group...
