I would be one of the ones to drop membership if this list goes to Yahoo.
I voted for Sam a couple of years ago? when you, Stephan wanted to turn over
the list to someone else.
My vote still stands.
My appreciation and gratitude goes to Stephan for this excellent list you
created and maintained at your expense over the years. Thank you. Please
don't allow the list to dismantle because of unwanted ads and spam from
Yahoo.
Respectfully,

As offered in the past, my brother and I (both on the list) have the
capability to host a list-serv very similar to the current list. If you
all would be interested, we would be glad to take it over. Although
Yahoo seems like a viable option, I personally hate advertisements, I
think requiring a yahoo address and signup will cause us to lose
subscribers, and I don't think it is plain text (more bandwidth required
for cruisers). So unless yahoo groups has changed since I last tried it
and hated it, I would vote for keeping a plain text list such as it is
today. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Sam
p.s. Vern, are you still up for this?
