Dave,

That could be a positive thing.  If files group members want to share have
to be put on external site(s) where they can be accessed by other group
members without having to log in to Yahoo Groups and endure the Yahoo Groups
web interface, all the better.  I follow the Hercules mailing lists via
e-mail.  When someone posts a file that sounds interesting, I hate trying to
access it because of the sub-optimal Yahoo Groups web interface.  I much
prefer someone posting a direct download link to a file I can grab from the
Linux command line via wget.  For example, I can grab the Hercules 3.13
sources from the Hercules site with:

$ wget 'http://Downloads.Hercules-390.eu/hercules-3.13.tar.gz'

which is so much more convenient than the Yahoo Groups file section.

What's the definition of a legacy system? One that works!
