OT: other mailing lists

It's recently come to my attention that egroups.com has been bought out
by Yahoo!, so a lot of mailing lists may be looking for a new home.

I wanted to mention that Mallorn/hort.net would be willing to host any
of these horticultural lists, so if listowners on other lists that you
subscribe to say that they need a new host please feel free to mention
Mallorn as a possibility.

A lot of lists are worried because of Yahoo!'s position on information 
ownership.  Their Yahoo! Clubs has this statement:

   "(c) With respect to all other Content you elect to post to
   other publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant
   Yahoo the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive
   and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce,
   modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works
   from, distribute, perform and display such Content (in whole
   or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works
   in any form, media, or technology now known or later
   developed."

   http://help.yahoo.com/help/egroups

The same thing happened with Geocities a while back.

P.S.  People ask me why I'd host their lists.  I say, "Why not?"
