John is far from the first person to complain about a poor email interface.
Some of our players only have email access at home, and do not use a
browser.

While yahoogroups may have a "primary" http interface, I thought our choice
to bring the game here (rather than the "primary http"
tapcis.com<http://tapcis.com>forum) was because of the email
interface. Short of that, yahoogroups
doesn't have much in the way of redeeming qualities.

The players in this group have been more than willing to accommodate the
access preferences of all the players, even down to the minutae of including
signature lines for those who prefer not to use the "primary http" client
which displays names and/or yahoo profiles.

If the bus is consistently unreliable, I switch to the alternative
permanently.
