The Yahoo mailing list server is notoriously unreliable and randomly drops mails and/or drops people from lists because their email server was temporarily refusing mails (4xx SMTP responses not 5xx). I also find the Yahoo groups web interface absolutely awful; mailman's list archives aren't great, but are ok for casual browsing, and you can download the entire archives and load them up locally if you need to. A quick look around Google groups suggests that my initial assumption that it'd be as bad as Yahoo groups is probably unfounded. But if I hadn't already given in and created a Google account for other things, I'd be unhappy about doing so just for your list, given the way it tracks your web browsing in ways that I don't entirely understand while you are logged into it.
