Jim,
thank you for the reply. PHPList is only one way and I want two way 
communication. Google groups seems the next best choice but still 
requires users to have a google account and log into gmail (or setup 
forwarding) to use. Also, a little public for my liking.
In the past I have used lists running on Majordomo and Mailman and all 
posting and replying happens on your email...easy.
The search continues....
Thanks again,
Clint.
