Well, I'll continue to work on finding something.. and hope yahoo wil hear my
plea to
allow a no ads option. there used to be a bug in this server software that
allowed
people to change people's passwords, but it seems to have been picked up and
fixed now.
I have see Microsoft's equivilent of yahoo groups in action and am not
impressed.. and
again, no no ads feature, minimal archive space and Microsoft is a pain in the
butt,
requiring a hotmail email address to subscribe.
Like I said, there are bugs in Major domo/ Major cool making it easy to hack.
The
alternative is listserve, and it has some security problems too.
I don't see the ads as they are all blocked by firebird (the next step up from
Phoenix...
thanks Jim..) sometimes I have to use MSIE for certain plugins, but that's
rare.
I think Sun won the battle over Java/javascript and MS explorer has some
problems with
java, unless you downl load the update from Sun.
Jim is probably more knowlegable about Unix/Linux shell stuff, but I'm still
looking for
alternatives with no ads..
topica is garbage... all ads..
still on my quest.
To dream the imposible dream.................
