My objection to yahoo groups is they require you to be a member of yahoo giving out all mannor of personal information just so you can access the group archives using some funky interface they provide.
They do not! They ask for information, but they do nothing to verify that information. Be a man, learn to lie to the internet! By virtue of your giving us your ham call, we already know far more about your personal life than you really want us to know. From your call, we can know your real name, birth date, and address. Because the government asked you for your SSN as a requirement for issuing your license, there are elements that can get that too. Talk about giving out personal information! -Chuck Harris I tolerate
participating in a few "yahoo groups" only because I can get limited functionality (no access to archives) by just using the list subscribe address in a standard mannor. I too run my own servers, and it is much prefered when a list is hosted with mailman or majordomo where full access to the archives is offered. With list hosting cheap to free, full webhosting with email list management in the $60-$75/yr range, and a virtual private server with full root access available for $120/yr available as options I'd be hard pressed to choose yahoo.
