Re: New home for list needed.

Huib (and everybody),

I also have a FreeBSD server running at home (FreeBSD rules!) but I don't have a fixed IP address, do you?

Anyway I think that a large mailgroup management organization like Google Groups or Yahoo Groups would be better.

I don't have experience with Google Groups, only with Yahoo and this is not very positive. The moment somebody posts a nude for the site gallery, the Yahoo prudes put the whole site in a "Adults" category, which makes the login to the site more difficult and makes you feel like you're furtively visiting some porno site :-) In short, I'd rather not be on Yahoo Groups.
