Don's last comment about the use of email addresses, etc. is the straw that
is breaking my back....if DISA establishes an EDI list I will immediately
remove myself from any Yahoo lists and delete my Yahoo ID. My hunch is,
however, that this horse is already out of the barn.

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.
