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

It took me no more than 3 or 4 minutes to subscribe to the  yahoo list.
I  went through no more steps than I did joining mailman or other types
of lists, nor did it take more time to do so.

Sometimes ya gotta swallow hard and quick so as not to taste tthe nasty
medicine. I hate Rupert Murdoch's politics and for years would not buy
any of his newspapers (though I ocassionally wrote freelance to some)
nor subscribe to his Sky TV service. But this year  I finally had to
subscribe for a number of technical reasons that couldn't be resolved
otherwise.

At least yahoo isn't a microshit product. Bad enuf I have to use
winshit, fortunately I don't have to use their other crappy products.
