Yahoo Groups, the Skrewt Story, New US Quarters

I have a question about hosting a Yahoo Group. A while back I was
asked to start a Stewart Granger one (since I have the only Stewart
Granger website I know of). My question is basically- what is
involved in having one? Yahoo doesn't seem to give much information
on that. I'm considering starting one but know I'm a basically a
lazy
person.
I have an ironical addition to Amanda's horrifying skrewt spawn
slaying. It was a couple days after I read her post, I was at work
(overnight stocking in Kmart), and thinking of her tale and how
glad I was that Iowa didn't have any bugs near that creepy and icky.
I felt a tickle on my cheek and figuring it was some hair escaped from
my ponytail, I brushed my cheek off--and discovered I had a spider
with
the legspan of a half dollar just in front of my ear! I must say I
was paranoid the rest of the night.
Finally, on the quarter topic- so far I love all the designs that
have been chosen by the states/US Mint people. However, my state just
sent in the 5 final choices and I am so afraid the Mint will choose
the most banal, least artistic of the 5. I know I don't want to see
Iowa's having a soybean, cornstalk, steer, and pig on it. I'm hoping
for one of the three Grant Wood inspired ones- but am not holding my
breath.
A bit of information those who might not be from the US- each
state is being represented on the "tails" of the quarter. The new
quarters are coming out over the space of ten years, each state in
the order it joined the Union.

(who would *Love* to have "American Gothic" on the quarter but is
a bit more realistic.)
