E-groups vs Yahoo

I was already in half-a-dozen e-groups when the only Yahoo Club I 
joined was HP4G....

Now there are 5 HP e-group message pages among my bookmarks (plus PoU 
Files).

I always read the posts on the web site. I find the Yahoo one easier 
to use. While Yahoo doesn't have a SEARCH, e-groups doesn't tell me 
what post the post I'm reading is a reply to. The member profiles on 
Yahoo are much better than the ones on e-groups, and I am always 
irritated by the way that e-groups conceals all @dresses (with the 
noble intention of protecting us from Spam), and I LIKED being 
Catlady de Los Angeles ....

Tim just started an new e-group last week (for his science fiction 
fan friends) and they tried to use the chat room provided by e-groups 
and reported that it was utterly slow and generally a pain. The only 
chats I've ever been in are the HP4G Yahoo chats, and that chat room 
seems to work fine (besides, I just got Cheetah Chat so I can Yahoo 
Chat in wonderful colors!).
