Okay, based on what everybody is saying, Google Groups it shall not be. I could host the list on my server. I only hesitate to do so because it's hard to guarantee the uptime that a mail host requires and still be able to upgrade software and such. I would also not be looking forward to being the one responsible for spam control. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
