As the main driving force behind the ExI-Community on Yahoo, I think
this is a wonderful idea. I, too, am getting tired of Yahoo's unethical
practices, deceptive representations, and constantly changing policies.
Some of them are bordering on security and privacy threats that may
violate the ethical codes of conduct if many professional organizations
to which I belong. I would love to see ExI gain more control over our
lists, present a more professional image to the public, and provide a
safer environment for our members.
