Re: [GZG] [LST] Mail list vs. Forums

[Robert N Bryett <rbryett@xxxxxxxx>]

Speaking as one who has suffered, I'd rather eat a leper's used boil  
dressings than have anything to do with Yahoo Groups.

They're unreliable. Entire groups just disappear. UserIDs stop  
working for no known reason. Files become unavailable,  and sometimes  
become accessible again weeks later without explanation.

Yahoo tech support is essentially non-existent. I have *never* even  
once received a reply to any e-mail query or problem report. I'm told  
that if you ring some secret phone number, and hold for some  
indeterminate time, it is possible to get through, but that is hardly  
practical from Australia.

Any groups that are not moderated get distasteful spam. Active,  
moderated groups impose a considerable load on the moderator.

Just say no to Yahell!

Best regards, Robert Bryett
