[Dxbase] DXBase Yahoo Group

Hi Jim
If you do not need/want to have new releases of the updater, dxcluster
definition files, etc. then you do not need to immediately join. Its a
convenience to me for not having to create/update web pages every time some
new file is available that could help people.
If others will use it, we could make it a one-stop shop for new utilities,
reports, labels, etc and you will be getting something for very little pain.
If I see a "tipping point" of current email reflector users are signed up,
then I might consider consolidating.
BTW, what is the complaint against Yahoo? Seriously, I have never had a
second of heartburn with them, so I do not know (nor have looked at others
who don't like them)?
