Dump YahooGroups for good? (was: Don't like the new web-display)

[Posted to the LUG because I feel a suggestion like this would affect 
all the members if implemented; I agree that discussions about 
specifics should be relegated to the OT list, and I am cc'ing the OT 
list accordingly to start a thread there as well. PLEASE DO NOT HIT

Yahoo/Yahoogroups are clueless; this new "interface" (thank goodness I 
get emails) and their pathetic search engine are proof enough of that. 
Their privacy policy continues to evolve in a very negative direction, 
and the ads (when browsing online) become more and more intrusive and 
bandwidth-hogging all the time.

I'd love it if we finally moved from Yahoogroups completely (as IMO we 
should've done back when Yahoo took over the forums, was that '99? 
'00?) - I haven't seen the custom logic-users.org forums but even with 
something like PHPBB we'd end up with a better online forum by far, and 
if there's a way to mirror the online forum for email delivery the 
switch would be complete and so much better than Yahoo can offer, 
without all the garbage they throw in.

Just my .02,

Brian
