Sure, that could be better, but it would require more work. Whereas Yahoo! Groups has a pretty decent setup for looking through mail archives. If I didn't make it clear, brlugforsale would be setup on Yahoo! Groups initially, but if it were moved to something on brlug.net, I would hope Dustin will preserve some of the needed fuctionality.
Using Yahoo! Groups is kinda cheating: we should take all of our big brains and free software and put up a web server, wiki server, mail server, etc. on our own boxen at home (and if you don't know it already, Dustin is shelling $ out of his own pocket for www.brlug.net). BUT, that would require somebody to make that effort. Anyone who wants to do so, feel free. Believe me Tim, I don't mean to insult you when I ask this, but are you volunteering when you suggest this? :) Ideas are great, really, I'm all about ideas. I get a huge rush out of brainstorming. But putting ideas into action is something different, as I'm learning through experience.
