Agreed for the most part. BUT....

Or the same one with several people not totally informed.

I've belonged to several yahoo groups/lists. I HATE web-based
lists/groups. But with yahoo ones, that's not a problem. Subscribers
have the option to read online or to get messages to the list sent
directly to their mail box.

Having set up an account on yahoo one time, the subscriptions to lists
is as simple as sending an e-mail to the list owner. Every message on
the list concludes with the following instructions:
<*> To visit your group on the web, go to:
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NameOfList/

<*> Your email settings:
    Individual Email | Traditional

<*> To change settings online go to:
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NameOfList/join
    (Yahoo! ID required)

<*> To change settings via email:
    [email protected]
    [email protected]

<*> To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to:
    [email protected]
