I was hoping you would chip in! I'm very happy to start a Yahoo Group, and I'm bound to say (though I'm getting on in years ;-) and possibly don't notice things so much - yes folks, I shall soon be drawing my 84% old age pension (I haven't been in this country (NL) since the age of 15, so don't get the full pension)) that in recent months and possibly years Yahoo has become slightly more transparent and considerably more reliable, to the extent that I now have few complaints if any. My point is simply that if Katrina thinks Google does things better, she could well be right! (I nearl;y wrote 'is probably right', but I don't want to overstate things. After all, what do I know?
