It can often take a long time - several hours, for a message
to come through a Yahoo group. Useless for activity alerts.
Sometimes messages are lost completely, or appear in the
group archives but are not received by email.

Maybe, so long as Yahoo continue the service. There's nothing
to stop them pulling the plug on a group - or all groups for that
matter, if business policy changes.
One of the nice things about joining the LF list is to find a
simple no-nonsense email reflector with a short reliable
round-trip time - so refreshing compared with the Yahoo monster
clunky too-full-of-features unreliable group server.
