Personally, I find the eGroups archives FAR easier to use.
But you DO need to go to the site to use that feature, which leaves out
those that are "blocked". I do not know if their blocking would prevent the
email from coming through from eGroups, I wager to say that it would. In
that respect, this listserv works and "ain't broke".
My email fills up much faster with this one. With eGroups I delete most of
them right away and use the archive a lot, no clutter. I don't for this one
as the archive is cumbersome and frustrating to use. (I lack patience I
guess - spoiled with new technology). The information from this group is
extremely valuable, so I "save" many on my PC - another "chore" is all.
