I too have been on Yahoo groups and found them to be a real pain in the kiester. The pop up ads are endless and the resulting spam is not worth it. Personally, I will not sign up to a Yahoo list. I vote to keep the list we have. If you have a photo to post, send it to me and I will put it on my web page for all to see.
