Has anyone seen a rise in spam to the e-mail address listed in
their Yahoo! user information?

Anyway, it's clear from the terms of service that they can change
this again, at any time, without notice, as many times as they want.

Another rundown of moving options:

() Go to a private mailing list. No ads or spam, but less
exposure to the potential new members, and we'd loose web access.

() Go with private web service too. This would take somebody's time
and/or money, but we could get all kinds of cool stuff that even
Yahoo! doesn't have.

() Go with usenet. This may expose our addresses to spamers, but
you get to be on Google.

Which reminds me -- another potential concern is the fact that
yahoo owns the archives. Hopefully, somebody (Robert Walker) is
keeping a running archive. But even so, we loose the threading
information that would be preserved in the Google/usenet combo.
