Re: The Democratic Answer to new home - VOTE
I also consider myself a lurker... but here's my 2 cents:
I suggest something other than the big G. Google owns everything you
send to and through their servers. And they keep it all. Should the List
ever decide to publish its collective wisdom -- or move the contents to
another location, etc. Google could claim copyrights.
In my opinion, Google has done everything Dick Cheney ever dreamed of
doing -- except they made it sing, dance and smile.

Hi,
You may have all your lists set to suit you at the moment, but I
guarantee you that some time in the future, it will come to pass that
in order to have no advertising or popups et al, you will have to pay.
I guarantee it. Google, Yahoo etc exist to make money from their
server. They will find you and make you pay. So then you say 'I don't
want to pay and I really do need what the list offers so hey, lets
have the advertising' . And so it goes...I hate the very idea of the
list on any of these search engine thingies. Malin has showed herself
to be in it for the long term. I'm for that solution..

My vote though I am more of a lurker as I am a alt newbie is for Yahoo.
I too do not understand some of the criticisms of Yahoo. I have my
lists set
to individual emails. Must have text only set as I never get images
and ads,
just some links at the bottom that I never pay much attention to.
As far as starting a new topic, all I do is send an email to the group
with
a new subject line. I rarely if ever go to the site via the internet.
I just
read and respond to my email messages from the groups I belong to. I do
appreciate the search features and that would be one of the rare occasions
for me to access via the internet.
I have not used Google groups, but if they are the same as Yahoo, I
would be
willing to go there too.
My less that 2 cent opinion.
