No, about 50% are web access and 50% mail so by doing that you would
alienate or p1ss off 50% of the people using the group, so it's really
not an option. Both mails *and* web access is needed whatever way it
goes and a lot of the controls would be nice as well. The moderator
controls are there with good reason and few services seem to offer the
options that Yahoo does, I know something could be configured to suit
out purpose but that means time, which in turn means money. One of the
biggest advantages of the way things are at the moment is that lack of
SPAM, other than Yahoo's which we cannot do much about, banning of
attachments and other niceties which, since they were implemented by
Mark last year have made a hell of a difference IMO.
