Yahoo Groups are not a problem. I'm subscribed to several. Neal is right in terms of a place to store stuff for easy retrieval. Much easier than a web page. I have never seen a Yahoo toolbar. You must have allowed it by mistake. I'm not a salesman for Yahoo though. We should run with what serves the group the best. I think the decision is up to the owner though.
