What are people's objections to a Yahoo list? I can think of two:
1. Advertising spam appended to messages.
2. Having to sign up for a Yahoo account to subscribe to the list.
I'd hope that it would be possible to work with Yahoo to get around the
first point. It's not like you're just another list/group hosted by
Yahoo - stuff discussed here is going to improve a Yahoo service. Such
lists ought to get a bit of preferential treatment, IMO.
Regarding the second, I don't know how to resolve it. I hate having to
"create an account" (anywhere, not just with Yahoo) just to join a list,
when all that's needed is my email address. I don't like the idea of
anyone aggregating all my info together (they can do it anyway, but I'm
not going to cooperate), and I know many people agree with me.
Are there other objections? Are there real suggestions for
circumventing them, or making them more palatable?
