>From personal experience. I'm a registered user of several Yahoo mailing list's, and it's a pain! They regularly get hit with spam, and-or the address lists are hacked and then used outside of Yahoo by www spammers. Not just my suspicions either, myself and many others have experimented by setting up bogus user names, and it's a suprisingly short time (the record for me, was 5 minutes!) till you get the first spam addressed to the bogus name. Unsubscribing yourslef doesn't fix the spam problem either, implying the spamers recipient list is no longer part of Yahoo.
Yes, you get email messages, digest delivery a web accessable searchable archive, and file area, but at a cost of serious vulnerability to prying eyes, many of (at best) unknown intent. This list here, can send digests, if that is what you want, I use that already. Connect to it's admin web page, log in with your email and password, and you can change the way it delivers to you. Unless you plan to have a 100% moderated Yahoo list (that needs to be 24/7) that Francois will willingly partake in, I'd say for now anyway, forget it. Same thing about web based forums. You get split up too easily wasting much time trying to keep up with all the various threds, with email, it comes to you, and can be filtered by subject, sender or whatever you wish. Much like a news reader if needed. Just my six peneth worth.... Keep to the KISS principle.
