I recently started a 78 Archives list on Yahoo. Yahoo has drastically 
increased it's allotted space. On our Citroen lists we have created more 
list as needed for storage of files. No one had bothered them, but 
occasionally you have to send an email from the list to maintain its 
activity.
My big beef with Yahoo was that it used to lose my identity and I would 
have to rebuild it. then I would lose control of my files. This hasn't 
happened in a long while.
