While I agree with you about continuing this list as long as Keith is
willing to host it, I can't agree about Yahoo, or, for that matter,
Topica.

I belong to a dozen Yahoo lists, one of them very high-volume (100 to
300 posts a day; over 6,000 in the month of August).  Some of the other
members get it in digest form.  None have complained about truncation.
There were simply several digests a day.

As for Topica, I am on a small list of old friends which used Topica for
a time, but gave it up because it did not offer a files section the way
Yahoo does -- and we wanted to post photos (some of them 30 or 40 years
old).
