[Austin-ghetto-list] defense of yahoogroups

[Jon Ford]

Well, Mike, once more we disagree on yahoogroups. My messages to others on 
the list I manage get around much quicker than 45 minutes-- maybe this 
morning was a peak traffic hour in Texas! An idiot could manage a list on 
yahoogroups (if I can---), and I just taught  my colleague Edy to set one up 
  for her young practice teachers in about three minutes flat (pretty good 
latency period!) I defy a "normal" person like Jaxon or most of those on 
this list to set up and manage a pair.com list-- this kind of PC/unix style 
technology simply establishes a kind of hegemony for tech freaks like 
yourself.

Jon
