Do you know how many Yahoo groups have been formed and then abandoned, for
lack of adequate, or *any* usage?

Unless you have something of material value, or worth to offer, most will
not be interested in joining (bothering to signup) for a Yahoo group.

This newsgroup, on the other hand, is readily available to anyone without
hassle and there is no rule at all to stop you from using it for the
purpose that you have described, merely by keeping your subject header
recognisable to those who will participate.  Perhaps a [DRAT] ( Dallas
Radio and Television; could that be any better? ;) in the header.

True, you will not have the "princely" censorship and moderation
abilities, but personally, I find that preferable to Draconian rule (lol).

Now, a radio station suggestion for you to try.

FM / 88.5 / KEOM / Commercial Free!

Give it a go; if reception permits, naturally <g>.
