Crich Yahoo! Group!

Hi all,

Thought you might be interested in this Yahoo! group! - http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/tramway_museum/

Thanks,

Hello,

what's the point of having a new Yahoo group when a forum has been established just a few days previously?

Christoph

Anyone can start this sort of forum but if effort is concentrated on one then the content is likely to have a wider appeal. Personally I avoid yahoo as it seem to disrupt my pc and feel that the forum is the best hope.
A particularly interesting entry demonstrating the great potential value of such a site is the notification of Brian Pickup's death and the link to a programme he made for the BBC. It notified us of a sad event in which most of us would be interested and informed us of a piece on social history which I suspect very few would otherwise have heard about or seen. Brilliant.

Hello,

The idea of the Yahoo! Group is to work with this forum, and also host things the forum can't (or won't) allow - pictures, files, large polls etc.

It also allows choice - some prefer a Yahoo! Group, and some forums.

Also, with the Yahoo! Group, all you need is an email account - you don't even need a Yahoo! account - email [url]tramway_museum-subscribe@yahoogroups.com[/url] to subscribe - you'll then get all the messages to your email inbox, withhout having to go on the site!

You can also post via email.

Thanks,

BG
