Funny that you say that, Will! I was just writing to Gordon Banks about the various lists which I hosted, owned, moderated, facilitated, coached, whatever. Here is an excerpt:
Byzantine Genealogy had been on MSN, but Yahoo! offers more.
On RootsWeb, I had, also, ASIAN-ROYALTY, and ARAB-AND-MOSLEM - but they were taken away at the same time as GEN-ANCIENT[, when I was having PC and connectivity issues]. Their new owners managed to let them die, w/o [angering] everyone off; so Rootsweb let them keep them. The woman at GEN-ANCIENT for those few months [angered] so many that Joseph Uphoff started http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ancient_Genealogy; and now that gets all of the Gen-A stuff. Rootsweb isn't too sharp at responsible, (or responsive), management, (or 'managerment', as my employer spells it). IF they would allow gating, they could, at least, resurrect Ancient genealogical studies, and maybe Oriental. They claim that it would violate their privacy policy, even though there is unanimous desire for it among the lists involved. Thus, they thwart the very studies which they claim to promote!
That said, (since you, more or less, raised the issue), I wouldn't have a problem with posting my little 'objets d'art généalogique' anywhere where there would be an interest. BUT: (HUGE WARNUNG follows) they are intended as starting points, to be amended as warranted. I need to redo my Anastasii chart, as is, (due to information shared by Chr. Settipani). I have to go to the library to do this, as I've essentially 'maxxed-out' my RAM, and can't afford to expand it right now. Would Rootsweb be accessible for alterations and updates?
On related comments: I find Yahoo fairly easy to navigate. Certainly more intuitive than Wikicities, Geocities, (also Yahoo!) or FortuneCity, (IIRC, Lycos/AngelFire), and even slightly more so than MSN or SmartGroups.
For joining, I've learned a little trick. When you arrive at the homepage, (e.g: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rabbi-Rabbi/, just type 'join', after the final slash (/). This works even for groups on other language Yahoo!s, (i.e., on does not need to translate the word 'join' into the respective vernacular).

'Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"--
Merely this, and nothing more.'
