Homebrew PCBs

hi,

i think it is a good idea, but i have heard in the past that yahoo has  
shut down groups if there was no use, so we would need to put a few  
messages a month there i think (e.g. "new file uploaded" notifications  
might do the trick..)


The thing with adding the message number is a problem, because those of us  
using the mail interface have a hard time getting the message number.
