You don't have to log in. Messages come straight to your computer in 
exactly the same way as with this opera.com list, just as your 
replies to messages from the group go to all members. Because we can 
all see each other's email addresses, it's easy to change the address 
to send a message direct to a member if you want to. Be careful, 
though: changing the address is always the /first/ thing to do, 
before you start writing your message, otherwise you run the risk of 
forgetting the address and then sending a private message to the whole list.

You only ever have to go to the Yahoo site if you want to view/read 
or download files that members have uploaded - or to set your 
security settings. Security settings have been a problem with Yahoo 
in the past but I think they are now a lot easier to handle.

I'm open to correction if I've got anything wrong.

Cheers,

Harry
