Agreed. I manage three Yahoo groups, and the effort required is truly minimal, and you have all the advantages already
reported
by somebody else in a previous message.

I have set Thunderbird so that it logs on automatically to the Yahoo groups I subscribe, download new emails, and shows
them to me
in my regular Inbox.  The same is for posting / replying.  I just press the Reply button of Thunderbird, exactly as I am
doing now for the
RSGB LF reflector.

And, while it is rue that in the past years having an account at Yahoo meant being submerged of spam messages, today
this is no more true.
Yahoo took adequate measures against that, giving the numbers of complaints on the subject.

Frankly, I don't see a single reason why to not migrate to an Yahoo groups.  The sole fact of having a messages archive
would overshadow
any possible minor inconveniences there would be in the migration.  But I am confident there would be none.

My 2 cents.
