And web-based groups are very vulnerable to SPAM. From what I've seen, they seem to need someone constantly monitoring it. Dan's server software has been doing a fantastic job in that respect up until recently when SPAM has been throwing monkey wrenches into the gears on a regular basis.

Have you been in direct email contact with Dan David? He might be monitoring the list now, what with the recent problems. He might miss your post. I don't think he checks the messages here on a regular basis. That seems to be a duty I've sort of taken on in the past 2-3 years, and get to Dan when the server get's hung up. He's been kicking it in the side each time, and has been meaning to set up new software. But like me probably, as long as the old dog keeps trotting forward after a fresh 'bowl of doggy chow'... it's easy to put off the more major task of setting up a whole new software installation.

That's also something, along with Yahoo and other web-based group options that have come up in the past as well. The only thing with a web-based group is that it doesn't allow non-web-based users access, and has the limitations of
such (hard to archive messages you receive, of interest, etc.).

The other problem lies with the access to the postings. It's very/extremely difficult to migrate a web-based group to another site because usually , they
do not allow full access to the entire mailing list archive database, but
rather one message at a time.

If indeed Google dropped/changed/etc the terms and/or service, then what?
