One thing I like about e-groups is the ability to view the messages

over the web as opposed to getting everything through email

(which fills up my email box).  Does listbox.com have that

capability?

I have no strong views either way about a possible move,

and I shall be happy with whatever the group decides. Moreover,

some of you know a lot more about alternatives than I do.

 But I would like to use this opportunity to thank Billy for

setting up this group in the first place, for his continued

maintenance, and for his most valued contributions. I am sure

I speak for all of us.
