There are just too many places that specialize to turn a Treo specific 
listserv into an all in one group (which is not its intent). If you want

cell phones, I hear crackberry.com is nice. But this is a Treo group. 
The occasional comparisons can't be helped, but do you invite the 
preacher from the other church to give the guest sermon every week?
