Looks like a neat system Harrison. Does it have an email option so that you receive each post as an email message? I notice that it supports web links and files, but couldn't figure out how that is done in the brief time I spent there.
It really is time to move on from just the LISTSERV -- this technology was developed in the 1980's, before PCs, graphics, or the web. It is no doubt robust, and has the advantage of the ability to administer it entirely via email; but one could say the same sort of thing about command-line interfaces and graphical user interface based systems.

Just to add confusion and choices, consider the following... An old friend, Frank Burns who founded The MetaNetwork has offered space for us thereon. This is a full service computer conference powered by Caucus software. I find it very easy to use, but then I have been fussing with it for years (used to be my home network). Anyhow, I think it meets all the needs and objections expressed to date. But don't trust me. Check it out. www.tmn.com/new When you get there click on "register" and fill out the registration form. Once completed, you can go to the Main conference. There are many conferences going on, most of which are public -- so you can see what other people do. And when you are ready click on OpenSpace. I have posted several items just for show. You could add some too if you wanted. My suggestion would be try it and see if you like it. If we do (like it) we can use it in addition to the current listserve, which we could continue to use for announcement and pleas of various sorts. For the heavy lifting of genuine, extended discussion TMN would work well, I think.
