You're asking the right questions. There has long been dissatisfaction with
freelists, not just this. We should move all of our maillists of course.
I'm assuming this is free or within our budget like freelists is.

Sorry, I think I am coming into this in the middle of a conversation. What
is it that Jack wants to do? I *think *he wants to move az-observing,
maybe others, from freelists.org to Groups.io?
Which lists are we talking about? I see there are sac-announce, sac-forum,
and sac-board, which I assume we (Paul?) administer. It looks like
az-observing is not a sac run list, or is somehow different. Do we
administer this list?
Are there other interesting options besides Groups.io?
Am I correct in thinking that Paul moderates the existing lists?
What are the issues in moving from freelists to Groups.io or other? I am
not familiar with administration of these things.
What issues would prompt us to move? Apparently attachments can not be
sent through the freelists setup. Is that an option that Paul has set, or
is it a general rule for freelists.org? Are there other issues needing to
be addressed?
I am not attached to either position here - just want to know what we are
addressing and need to research before we come to some decision.

Well that's just plain stupid. HACAstro, the Huachuca Astronomy Club
maillist is now on Groups.io and most of the defunct Yahoo! astro groups
have migrated to Groups.io. What's our problem? Dave and Tom C., I'd like
to request this be addressed at the next board mtg if not sooner. Let's get
with the program.

David,
Unfortunately, the az-observing forum strips all attachments from
messages,
irrespective of size. It is what we have used for the past 20 years, so
it's not likely to change.

Even the smaller attached file was too large..
