A good idea. Would anybody want to try that out? In fact, why not start
thinking about
hosting Gimp at SourceForge? Other OS projects have successfully moved...

Just an idea ;-).

Possibly.

With egroups, this is no longer a problem. A group of people can take on
the
responsibility of managing the list (whatever little is needed) remotely.

Are the responses to my posting a joke? Don't most of the people who responded in a
similar vein know that it is possible to remove ads from egroups.com? I haven't done 
any
cost comparisons, but doing that should be cheaper than maintaining this list on it's
present server.

I really like the facilities that egroups provides me: w/o bothering the list
admin/moderator, I can specify whether I want to get individual mail messages or to get
daily digests or get no mail at all - read it on the web. I don't think the current 
list
offers me all these facilities.

Other than the advertising (which we know can be done away with), nobody has come up 
with
any good objections.

What advantages does hosting this list at the present site have vis. a vis. hosting
this mailing list at egroups.com? egroups.com offers all such facilities, plus all
mails remain archived.

Hi,

I think perhaps my original posting was misunderstood. By "tabs" I meant
the sort of tabs that one sees on tabbed dialog boxes (or property
sheets) in GUIs, the effect of which people have tried to recreate on the
web by using images.

I did not mean image galleries :-). I should have explained myself more
carefully :-).
