I use both Yahoo and MSN groups for various items, they have worked very hard on the Spam issues - and they really aren't a big issue anymore. They also have the options of being able to get a digest format of the posts for the day or just viewing the posts online, if you want to avoid email to your box. The chat options on the lists are very nice too, one group I belong to has a set chat time each week that allows people to pop in if they desire.

Any truth to this? I am not real familiar with yahoo groups. Are they e-mail based like this one? I do not like having to go to the web to check for messages, I just don't get around to it. It is much easier to just check e-mails. Another good thing about freelists is we already have all of our messages from the past archived there thanks to Mike :) Aaron Sargent The Linen Barn linen@xxxxxxxxxxx Medford, Oregon ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Yaglenski" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 9:36 AM Subject: [amayausers] Re: mailinglist.org closing down > Aaron: > > Have you thought about just going with a Yahoo Group instead.
