Re: [IRCA] File size limit

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would NOT recommend Yahoo Groups. First, the turmoil with Yahoo at a
corporate level doesn't guarantee that Yahoo Groups ( or even mail ) will
be around for the long haul. Second, Yahoo has and has had regular problems
with timely delivery of mail. There are adequate numbers of commercial
entities out there to host groups at reasonable rates, and I'd find it hard
to believe someone else on list doesn't have the capability to host. There
are also a couple of outfits who specialize in hosting groups with both a
website and an e-list.

Google Groups is an option also - more reliable than Yahoo but somewhat
more work for moderators.
