While yahoo has it's problems, it's use 'email only' works for many of
us and I for one have dropped lists which have moved to other more web
based services. I like the way I can come down in the morning and see
what needs to be dealt with. Even duplicate messages are easy to spot
and remove leaving me with a tidy archive that goes back to late 90's on
some lists.

While groups.io have a price list it's not something I will be looking
to transfer to. All to easy for them to start charging for every list at
some point ... I've simply dropped the lists that have moved ...
