> Well if you use a service like yahoo groups or google groups, ultimately the data is on servers owned by those companies.

~ ~ Thanks. It was a concern of Muffled's.

> For all practical purposes, whoever starts the groups would control access. They can set the group to be public or private and approve join requests. It's really much more private than this type of site-- the posts aren't viewable through search engines. But that also means it's harder to get new members and keep the thing going.

~ ~ Yes - the one I was on was private with approvals necessary & the public couldn't read posts. I'm not sure if it was like that at the very first - I suspect so. I joined a little ways in. It was people from Babble at that time in 2000.

It went until 2007.
