Damn that is a good idea!! I am on 2 Yahoo groups lists (used to be Egroups, 
and something else before that). And also Moderate one. I'd second the idea. 
It is EASY, and a nice setup with no overhead. Once more, the mail would 
probably be cut in half as there won't be duplicate and triplicates of EVERY 
e-mail. The Yahoo groups one works just in that you send it back to the 
server, and it sends it to everyone...no "reply to all" to worry about. Which 
is a PITA IMHO. No offense, but major-domo sucks ass when a list gets this 
big. Who agrees with me?
