[Coco] The 'New Yahoo Group'

[Michael Kline]

I really don't see a need for another group. It's like spreading 
ourselves very thin. Too many places to monitor. I primarily use 
CoCo/MaltedMedia, I check FB for media content and of course; the CoCo 
Archive. If there would be a site that would replace Facebook, I would 
dump Facebook.
