The list has survived worse.

Subject: Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Public and private groups?

I have experience with both Google and Yahoo groups. My opinion is that
Yahoo's "tools" are more flexible and easier for list owners/managers, and,
for the members of the list, Yahoo! Lists are easier to join. Google's
"group" system has always seemed sort of awkward and behind in development
when compared to Yahoo's system.

But moderating a group, especially a busy one, can take a lot of time...

My suggestion is to poke around the Yahoo and Google Groups areas at
http://groups.yahoo.com and http://groups.google.com. It wont be easy to bet
the "feel" the services without setting up a group, but if you look at
Google's area first, then Yahoo, you may know all you need. 

Not pushing Yahoo! here - the company has some odd policies - when the
policies get changed, there's frequently no warning and some list members
and moderators find this upsetting. Odd things happen. But for ease of use,
I think that Yahoo! Is a few steps ahead.

I'd be in for such a discussion group. Google Groups would probably meet
those needs.
