Mark,
It
would be far from ideal doing it this way, but perhaps more acceptable to
the
masses than a subs based service.
There
may be a high volume of messages, but they trickle in & out so I can't
see
it killing someone's connection.
I'm
not that bothered about the Yahoo ads personally - some ppl's .sigs are
bigger!
It
would be _nice_ if they weren't there, it would be okay if we could bung
yahoo a
few quid as a one off to ditch the ads....
I
think a subs based system would discourage others from joining & seeing
what
it's about & could easily drive ppl away - especially as there is now a
free, no ads newsgroup.
I
was
just suggesting broadband as a possibility.....

I would NOT want the list just run on someones
broadband - I could do that here myself.
Can anyone guestimate just how much bandwidth
would have been required last month alone? over 3000 messages to
nearing
500 subscribers!

A
one off payment maybe from a few charitable souls may do the job, but you
can get many free mailing list proggies for *nix which someone with
broadband could run.
