My dear chap, if you will pardon the expression, why not just try it and see what it's like? You write 'Why are all you guys so sensitive about Yahoo?' but as I see it, it is not we who are so sensitive about Yahoo. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if I've got confused between what you and others have written! (I'm serious here: I may genuinely have missed something; it happens). As to your second point: I can honestly say I don't remember seeing any advertising on /any/ of the ten, fifteen or maybe twenty groups I belong to, apart from stuff at the bottom of each message - but that's all Yahoo-related, I think - I wouldn't know, I never read it! I dunno, maybe I've got some special software that eliminates ads. If so, I shall be happy to point you to its source. To sum up: in recent years I have not noticed any advertising at all on any of the Yahoo lists I belong to. That's not to say it isn't there. I just haven't noticed it, so whether it's there or not I just don't know. Whether that's because my senses are dulled or because I have software installed that blocks advertising I do not know, but there it is. Don't deprive us of your input straight away, give it a go, see how it goes - and you can always withdraw if you so wish!
