It seemed like everyone wanted something to happen. But no one wanted to  
step up. I have a little experience with running a group on yahoo. My  
other group is very quiet. In fact it's mostly automated messages. And  
this group of people fromn the Opera site seem very well mannered (if that  
were not so I would not ahve started the new yahoo group.

As a moderator I'm a pussy cat. It's not really _MY_ group. I just started  
it. I do retain control to a small extent. If someone makes big waves and  
other object, then steps can be taken to iron out whatever the problem is.  
I'm not a controlling person. I drive truck and wont be around all that  
much.

I don't know what issues you may have and with Yahoo in the past but it's  
not a bad experience now. Give it a shot, if you like. What ever you found  
to your liking before will still be here now. Who knows, it may even die a  
slow death.

Anyway, I think the NEW list will be better with you, than without you.

BTW how will a 'list' differ from a 'group'? Functionally they will be the  
same. Just not the same software.
