I hate to be the voice of negativity, but egroups has almost as many 
problems as yahoo.  Messages frequently come out of order, servers go down 
about once a month.  It is a definite improvement over yahoo, but still not 
infallible.  I think it might be related to the amount of traffic - the 
groups I've been on that average over 100 messages a day are more prone to 
message delays than those only averaging 20.
