Because it's not really terribly appropriate for discussion here.  If 
you want to discuss banking, no-one's stopping you setting up a Yahoo! 
group to discuss that.  If you don't want to have it on Yahoo! Groups 
then I'm sure you can set up a mailman list or something similar to 
handle it.  If you want a hand setting up mailman then feel free to ask 
me, but not in here.
