I agree to a degree... One issue is that several people I have mentioned
this list to will not sign up due to the commercial nature of
yahoogroups and their spam/privacy policy. The potential hassle is not
worth it to them, and as silly as it sounds, the Yahoo affiliation
doesn't do much for the image of the group. Is there an easy way of
setting up the same functionality on the website? I may be able to
provide some of that functionality with a portal system on my server if
it would be helpful.

Thanks,
