And here seems a misunderstanding. MOST of the yahoogroups-user don´t go to
yahoo to read or write mail.

They are using their mail client (offline!) and this is in most cases the
central communication program for the user.

If you are going online into yahoogroups GUI you can go also into another
forum online, indeed. But you are missing the node to the e-mail users.

But what shalls: Try the forum and we´ll see, at which forum the important
facts will be presented.

This is not the goal of this e-mail list. There are many forum, which do
that (e.g. www.astronomie.de in German). It seems better to make a section
into these general forum for this special porgram Guide.

I have no problem with this :-). It seems, that both projects can work.
