If you use html to get email via Yahoo Groups, you'll get flashy emails, true. 
If you use plain text you'll get ads in the bottom of email in plain text and is
avoidable. But seeing people reply to all and not cutting the unwanted 
portions of email, I am sure people will get ads in ads :)

True, that probably would be best, but if one has a file section like Yahoo 
even better to read documents, libraries, code, etc. I wonder if Ezboard has
evolved like YahooGroups, last time I used it it was pretty nice.

What do you mean they gain on us ? what is talked about here that they can
possibly use ? it is not like people here discuss highly sensitive material ;)

KCC Igo 5 is probably the strongest engine as of now, though with the Go++ 5.0
this might not be the case anymore. In the last Gifu, the new Goemate (Shudan
Taikyuoku 5) was not present, so there is a chance than Haruka, Kcc Igo, Go++
and Goemate are probably all about the same level right now.

Anyways, take care.
