Amen!  I have seen other lists migrate from email format to boards 
and they either wither and die or only appeal to the hard 
core.   Plus,  those boards tend to get overly fragmented by topic 
and it get's intimidating both to manage and to follow.  Plus many of 
those boards are under constant attack from spammers and hackers.

Yahoo has one foot in the grave, there are only two of the 
re-enacting groups on there that ever get any traffic and I moderate 
a couple of others dealing with that topic and rarely do they get 
used other than for spam.  It's takes time to moderate users, if you 
got on auto accept, then you get the spammers again.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T LOOK FOR AN EXCUSE TO MAKE IT  BROKE!

And I can guarantee that if someone can't figure out how to upload a 
picture to Flickr or any one of the other photo sharing sites out 
there, they sure as heck ain't gonna know how to use photo software 
to edit and resize pics.
