<<I hate Yahoo! Posting and reading messages is so tedious... But what's
wrong with EGroups? I'm on several lists there, and find it to be very
easy to use and full of features.>>

As you may or may not know, eGroups and Yahoo Clubs are merging,
presumably to bring the "best of both worlds", to both worlds. Penny and
I hope, for example, that it brings us the eGroups automated welcome
letter feature. Another feature I hope for is the "Files" section on
each group. It can include photo and pictue files, but is not limited
to them. Right now, both groups have a calendar, a links section, and
a chat room. I assume (or at least hope) we'll keep those.

In short (I know, too late). I suggest we wait and see how the merger
goes before we try to move the group. In fact, if we move it to eGroups,
we'll end up where we started.
