The Yahoo! groups option is a bit nicer looking in my opinion, but that's a
non-issue for anyone using it as an email list. Beyond that, Yahoo! too
asks for a lot of login information and requires a @yahoo.com email address
to sign-in. As the internet saying goes, "If it's Free Then It's You
That's Being Sold" - that "no monthly charge" and general convenience comes
with a price.

Others mentioned various existing automotive enthusiast sites using another
list server or a bulletin-board feature. I'm checking into the list server
that VetteNet.org uses so we'll see where that goes. If we go with the
bulletin-board feature and our own domain, we're looking into a real cost
per year (server on the internet, admin maintenance, etc). While *I* can
do the admin maintenance on a Unix server, the cost per year for own server
will be a new added cost (most are $10/month for just the server, if we do
all the administration and maintenance).

I'm going to make every effort to test out the Yahoo! groups option a bit
more this weekend. When I get somewhere on that I'll post back to the
group.

Thanks again for your patience.

Dan

I've reached out to a couple of contacts from their page but I have not heard back yet. I'll try to re-contact them in a couple days.
