Hi all Thanks for doing this.

But I'm finding since that Yahoo is very often difficult to work with now. Trying to work at the list website gives me stall after stall half the time, with the odd "Oops!" - this site/page/group is temporarily unavailable. Other times it's okay, more or less. The service has definitely deteriorated, in more ways than one. Motie wrote: >I own a couple of groups also, and 4 Clubs on Yahoo, and subscribe to >many more of both.

Here's this wondrous hi-tech Internet communications leading light, and you need grapevines and carrier pigeons to get messages from them. >Group owners are supposed to be automatically subscribed to a List >Owners Group.

They abandoned that as soon as they took it all over from eGroups a year ago. Why didn't they host a group for list owners? Run by them, rather than an independent effort, with some sort of presence there, so people got the idea someone somewhere may be listening. The NBB does something like that on their web board, it doesn't take much. Then they'd have got easy, free and direct feedback on how to tune the service, and probably wouldn't need to do dumb surveys like this one. Maybe they'd even have managed to keep the level of service up to scratch - or even (gasp) improved it. It says the membership of that Group owners group was 916672 at the time. You'd think nearly a million clients would be worth some sort of minimal effort. Anyway, we'll wait and see what happens (not that we have any choice). Don't bet your life savings on pleasant surprises. :-( Best Keith Addison Journey to Forever Handmade Projects Osaka, Japan http://journeytoforever.org/ Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address.
