[GR-Jug] MailMan vs Yahoo Group

[Joel Adams]

Part of the motivation for leaving yahoo was that yahoo changed their  
privacy policy and starting giving out e-mail addresses to their  
"partners". Members of the group then began getting lots of spam. The  
intent was to gradually shift from yahoo to the gr-jug server.

Oh, and Dave graduated from Calvin last year, and is working locally.
