Obviously there has been a strong adverse reaction to my proposed move to become
a Yahoo group.
The central issue seems to be the likelihhod of the member address list being
passed
to third parties. The group itself is
closed-to-members, nobody else can post to it and only text can be posted, no
attachments.
This (Avnet) List continues and will do so until we ask Avnet to turn it off,
which
we are not about to do.
Does anyone know of a better alternative ? This should be free, allow
restriction
to text messages (to choke off viruses) and
preferably provide a member-accessible file storage area and a usable
administrator
interface.
Anyone who has not yet responded to the joining invitation from Yahoo might like
to suspend doing so for a day or two. I am the
owner of Europa-Forum and could destroy it and (ostensibly) its address list
with
it.
