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

Harry, thanks, but I won't be joining the group. I already know what  
Yahoo's like, and I don't like it. My input wouldn't be worth much,  
anyway, so you won't be missing anything. I made the offer to set up a  
list because I have the resources available to do that. I had no interest  
in running or moderating the list.

I don't think I was being sensitive; after my inital statements I was  
mostly just trying to respond to comments that others had made. I'm just  
puzzled that people want to defend Yahoo - but then people rave about  
Gmail and Apple I can't understand that, either, LOL.
