In my experience Yahoo! at best is a mediocre experience, whether it's
groups or email accounts. I never found anything there to my liking. I
won't be "giving it a shot", thanks.

If you're asking what the difference is between a Yahoo! group and a
mailing list like this one then we must be living on different planets.
They function in an entirely different way and are administered in a
completely different way. Moreover, to join a list like this one you don't
need to jump through hoops at Yahoo!, let alone set up an account at a
site - it's a simple matter of sending a "subscribe" email to the
appropriate address.

My offer still stands if anyone is interested. If enough members of this
list show interest, then we can decide on an administrator and moderator/s
and I'll set it up, with whatever name you guys want.
