David,

Thanks for the information on freelists. (I did not
know about it.)  I will definitely take a look.

So far, my experience in using Yahoo group alias
in teaching several classes, the most current one with
close to 800 online students (http://www.plurb.com/j2ee/)
has been pretty positive.  Most of the people
receive postings through their own email address
(not Yahoo account), so popup has not been an issue.
Spam can hopefully avoided since this is a group
alias for "appoved members only". (Alan and I will
be apporvers.) And the list of the people can be
viewed only by members.

Sounds very good.

I would say that we post it.  We can always improve
anytime we want.  I would add a slide (or within speaker
notes somewhere) that has "version control information" so that
people know which version they are dealing with.

Yes, I will be glad to move on with your slides and
let people know.
