Hi Daniel,

I ditto the sentiment.  Yahoo! Groups were pretty much the only noobie ballgame in town for email groups.  There's competition now, most notably Google Groups.  I've always hated Yahoo! Groups and have always preferred an alternative.  I find Google Groups much more friendly.

BTW, you should see how awful Yahoo! Groups email looks in plain-text.  Dreadful.

Cheers,
Robert~
