Mr. Harshaw,

 

I think you can attach files to this list.

 

Let's see if this test works.

Hi, all.

 

I've been mulling over the idea of starting a Yahoo group for SAC. This
would not replace our current e-lists, but would supplement them.  There
are a few advantages to a Yahoo group, to wit:

 

(1)    You can upload files to a "Files" library for all to look at.

(2)    You can upload images to a pictures library.

(3)    You can conduct surveys and polls very easily.

 

My intent would be to set up a moderated group (which means membership
to the group must be approved by the moderator, who would be me) and the
moderator would have the ability to block abusive members. 

 

The Yahoo group format protects us from spammers if used properly.
Members have the option of getting a daily digest of the emails with
hyperlinks to the individual notes that look interesting, or can
download a daily batch file of all daily emails, or download individual
emails as they are posted.

 

Is there any interest in such an idea?
