Just a few benefits of Google Groups. None of which is UN-available software side.
And wait, did you say Google Groups or Yahoo! Groups - because they are distinct. Google Groups is essentially a front-end for Usenet. Yahoo! Groups is, in theory, an additionally featured mailing list. It's imperfect, and wholly unecessary. Besides, don't you already have your fancy Forum to keep you in control and all benevolent and benefactorrific?
11. a moderator that "IS" available. Ah. And now we come to what iKamm wants most of all. iGod of all Yello discussion.
Seriously. Just knock it off. If you dislike the list so much, just leave us well enough and better off without your unctuous bids for supremacy. You have your golden forum, full of worshippers. Just because you cannot own this list doesn't mean you should seek to replace it. Besides, as has been pointed out already bu Julian, Yahoo! Groups are blocked by his [and many others'] work Proxy server[s] AND there is already a Yahoo groups for Yello. What's the problem with that one? Is it really so horrible to not be in control? And before you squeal, no, you haven't once seen me make any kind of bid for control over the list. I am quite satisfied with the anarchic nature of things - you and I disagree sharply and often, but things tend to dissipate over time.... No need for a babysitter or a nanny. But I am sure that, as usual, you will ignore the inconvenience to others and just blunder forward. --gcr
