After carefully navigating through 4 different pages (belonging to 2 
different sites) beginning at http://www.worldmasters.net/, I found it - 
but it says that you need "web access", whatever it is. Not being a 
member I have not indagated anymore.

Anyhow, it seems easier than linking to Cat23's lists after the 
relocation under the Worldmasters' wing: the Cat23 subpage has no 
information whatsoever on what it is about (just a board pic and GM 
instructions), plus the yahoo lists are not directly linked but you go 
through some "g-mane" mirrors that make it all too complicated for any 
casual visitor to find his/her way to the lists.

I wholly agree with David Watson on Cat23 needing a better portal. Other 
improvements could be nice but the portal and easy access to the lists 
from it seem essential.

Regards,
Luis.
