Subject: Cons of a yahoo/fb move

textfilter: chose text/plain from a multipart/alternative

The biggest disadvantage of moving to yahoo/fb is the loss of the list
archive; a usefully searchable corpus/body of knowledge and history for
the
game and its players, which is portable and replicable.

Yahoo group search is (by their own admission) abysmal and does not
provide
compact results

Facebook fails on every useful criteria.

The bells and whistles fb and yahoo bundle in are like the MS works
compared
to third party photo,file and mini wiki services available now. They're
hooks designed to lock data, users and importantly.. messages  in.

Google groups does provide a limited method to subscribe external list
archives.

I endorse and am confident Roger can decide,locate, house and administer
a
lasting and durable list
