I have other lists that have moved to Yahoo.  My only complaint for
now is the incessant advertising in the messages.  I guess that is
the first cost.

I'm also concerned about long term.  I would expect Yahoo to harvest
email addresses from the messages and sell them.  I haven't read
Yahoo's privacy policy but companies like Yahoo certainly don't do
this for free.
