Hi Amie,
Sure, you're correct. If you want to just setup it and get it going
Yahoogroups is the way to go. It's what I'd use to be honest if I was
making a quick decision. Yahoogroups is well established and you can
certainly ignore everything you don't need. EG, Calander, Poles, File
Storage.
Cheers,
Barry

Thanks for this; so it sounds like Yahoo and Google are probably both
equally usable in my context... this last of yours sounds like Yahoo might
actually be easier; would you say that's true? I know you said it prob' has
more functionality than I'll need, but can I, using JAWS 10, do everything I
need do whilst ignoring anything that's beyond me?
I don't need to have my list do much other than let people join, by
invitation only. I suppose mod' functionality is necessary but I don't
expect to have to moderate at all. Everyone on the list will be a
professional...
Nearly ready to stop fidgeting with this and get on with actually doing it.
Just eager for every scrap of experience you wise ones have to share with
me.
Thanks again.

Amie,
Not Ian, but I've used Yahoogroups for around 8 years. Well it was One
groups then Egroups and for the past 6 years or so it's been Yahoogroups. I
find it fine for any admin tasks. It's fine to view, add, remove, modify,
block members. It's also quite nice for sorting out members who's addresses
are bouncing mails.
When compared to say Freelists if you aren't a Server Admin type of person
it's very user friendly.
Cheers,
Barry.

Ian, how do you find Yahoo, from the mod's point of view? Is the tb list
easy to administer?

So once you've approved someone they can roar in, saying whatever they want?
I'm not one for heavy moderation; emphatically not; that sounds a bit edgy
though :o)
Thanks for the tip; how sure are you about it?

As I recall, and I haven't used it for a while, you can't set it up so that
new members messages are moderated.

Hi Alex,
Why is googlegroups a pain?
I've never used it but just for fullness, a few examples would be useful.
Cheers,
Barry.

Yahoogroups, in my experience googlegroups is a pain up the arse.

Hi all
Wonder what you would recommend as the most accessible option, using JAWS
10, for setting up a closed e-group. Yahoo? Google? Something else?
Thanks for any advice.
Amie
