     Chalk me up as another vote "no" against Google Groups and "God
no" against Yahoo Groups :-).  

     Years ago the advanced-servlets list migrated to some service
(egroups IRRC) and then Yahoo Groups took over and locked some of the
moderators out.  Customer service was non-existent so we couldn't get
that fixed and the list languished for years, eventually dying.

     Mailman isn't that hard to run, nor to use.
