Tony, thanks for your reply. We currently have over 340 members, with
over 240 messages in July. A few members have dropped out due to the
"deluge," there's been a few "flames," but mostly we don't have
problems, except for the Yahoo software.

I've never had that specific problem, but my Yahoo account has been
hacked twice making it impossible for me to do ANY moderating on my
list for long periods.
I didn't think AOL did public groups. The alternative is Google Groups
I believe. I'm only in one; they seem the same.
I run a neighborhood web forum up here in WV, and IMHO free mailing
lists are not a great way to engender a sense of community. Maybe with
10-20 people, but once you start getting more nobody can handle the
deluge of email. Unless nobody talks about anything.
