I have been using e-groups for about a year with a
list that my son's school has.. Now it is excelent, if
the moderator know's how to use a computer!! I looked
into it further because I figured there had to be a
more logical way for them to excecute what they wanted
to do.. Well it seems to do everything except clean
the house.. Well I told them how to do it and it was
beyond them so we still have a primitive mostly PTA
argument list.. Anyway, E-Groups seemed to sort upside
down, backwards, and sideways all at the same time if
you wanted it to.. It had places for calanders and
everything.. You can make it a private list or a
public.. The one I am on now is private..
It is _possibul_ that I would be crazy enough to set
it up but I can't gaurentee strict maintnence..
