Can you add a feature where a Yahoo Group owner gives a list of members who have declared their opposition to the move to GIO and therefore, they are excluded from the transfer including all their identifiable data such as their email addresses, posts, files, photos, etc.? 

Adding this feature will facilitate us to initiate a move to transfer a Yahoo Group that has 9800 members. We are ready with crowd funding financing to pay for the Premier level group but we are hesitating due to politically charged environment caused. 

My apologies if this is a re-post. I had tried posting a while ago but unable to find my post.

I have just added this. When setting up or editing a yahoo transfer, you can now specify a list of email addresses to exclude, one per line.

For each of these people, we exclude all files, photos, databases and messages owned by them. Also, any photo albums or file folders owned by them are completely skipped.

We do our best, but for some very old messages, we don't have the full email address of the sender (you can blame me for that back in the ONElist days). So we might transfer messages that we shouldn't, in that case.

Cheers,
