Hi Dan, thanks for the idea about setting up an email list instead.

I went to (groups.yahoo.com) and didn't find it particularly easy to set up, in as much as I would be doing the setup and there would probably be a co-host.

I actually think a forum like communityzero offers the same as the email list, it's free, allows for privae or public messaging, and allows for file uploads, storage of images, etc.

I guess it's not so much the setup that I'm concerned about, but more so finding a way to provide a profile of all the members so that they can be marketable to others. And perhaps I can't accomplilsh the two things with just a mail list or community forum.

Anyway, thanks for your comments. I appreciate your thoughts.

Eliz.
