yes, googlegroups has become more or less completely inaccessible for
screenreader users, and it is extremely annoying.
I run a group there, and doing any moderating has become just about
impossible, but at the same time, for the same reasons, I can't get to
anything which would give me any of the info I need to look at moving that
group to a more accessible platform either.

Did Google groups get their accessibility issues resolved? I thought that at
one point there were challenges for screen reader users who were moderatinhg
or establishing groups using Googlegroups.

Honestly, Tom?
I actually think it has something to do with your reliance on
Ultrahost more than anything else. I'd be more apt to have you host your
list's email somewhere else, before resorting to Freelists. The domain
is too good to waste as such. I can host pC-Audio on my DreamHost
hosting plan, as i have unlimited domains and unlimited...well,
everything. I won't charge you, and we can see how you like it that way.
Alternatively, subscribe to Google Apps pro, host your domain there and
use Google Groups on said domain, and have rock solid lists for as long
as you like. But please...no freelists.
