Keith, I have looked at this a bit and Tom O'Connell really researched it. The problem seems to be finding a place that satisfies both the people who like to follow the group on line and those who want to receive it by e-mail. There seemed to be any number of options that did one or the other better then Yahoo but not both. This list is divided about 50/50 in preference. The other stopper is how to move the archives and we have done a lot with the Files, Bookmarks, etc in Yahoo. Being free of any connections to any commercial entity involved in Digital B&W was one of our founding concepts so we would need to be cautious in that regard. I am open to an alternative but I have to admit to being skeptical of finding one at this point in time. Have you been on the Yahoo Moderators list? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ygroups_moderators/?yguid=76919450 Finding somewhere else to go has been a big topic. You would think Yahoo might take a hint. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Editor P.O.V.
