Re: [ST] Yahoogroups (attempt 5)



i appreciate the arguments, although the concerns seem to come more
from the US based participents.
i moderate two yahoo groups and have only had one problem spammer in
two years. With good moderation you can certainly keep a group tight.
As pointed out here recently people are posting their phone numbers
and addresses out without considering it a risk. Im yet to see a link
between such an action and a crime but that doesnt mean i dont try and
avoid the risk of it.
Yahoo being the used example have their pros and cons but list
communities like this need the new members to keep it going over the
years and being hard to find doesn't necessarily encourage that. Im
new to the group but have read mails with people complaining that the
list is tired and not what it used to be.
i dont advocate any course of action, merely observing as im new to
the list which has one basic qualification, and thats the ST that
sitting outside right now in the gale thats likely to bring some snow
with it.The list has alreay given me so much information that i have
archived it is a well valued resource.
