As an information source, OK, but it doesn't work for time-
sensitive information. Trouble with yahoo groups is that you can't 
broadcast messages. If I need to send an announcement to everyone 
in my group (this is supposed to be a closed-subscription list), 
how do I know that everyone has read the email if I have a meeting 
to announce?
