"yahoo groups isn't quite as nasty a situation. their main issue is that
they are pretty iffy about privacy and what they might do with your email
address once they have it.

"by contrast, my personal guarantee to all subscribers to digest.net
lists is that i will never sell, give away, trade, or otherwise misuse
an email address."

I have a yahoo address, and subscribe to two Citroen-related yahoo
lists. While the price (free) is still right, it's becoming less of a
bargain as time goes by, just because of the increasing amount of spam
that is shovelled in on a daily basis: an average of around 100 mortgage
loan offers, dick/breast enlargers and teenage porn promos every day.
The popups are getting out of hand, too, with some (at least in my
ancient but well-loved version of Netscape) actually covering up parts
of the screen where the navigation links are. I used to get the Digest
in my yahoo mailbox until it and Richard's system had a falling out, at
which point I shifted the subscription over to Earthlink. I wish I had
that option with the DS list and CitChat...
