Is this really true? I'm already a moderator of a list at Yahoo
Groups devoted to electroacoustic music and the last I checked, Yahoo
Groups' postings from my list turned up on Google searches. In any
case the entire archives would always be available at the Yahoo Groups
site. As for the ads, they typically appear in banner form at the
bottom of the messages. If you don't scroll down to far, they're
easily avoided.
