Re: Ang: Announcement: Opera-Users mailing list to be closed in late July, 2010

I don't really care whether we do this with a Yahoo group or
otherwise, as long as we still have Opera users communicating and
assisting each other in the use of the browser and sharing experiences
with it.  When I've been in Yahoo groups, it has rarely been necessary
to go to the website.  You only do that to moderate or view pictures. 
The rest is just like e-mailing back and forth.
