Old hat :-)  There are lots of local LUGs already on egroups - 
including the ILUG-Hyderabad - <ilughyd@xxxxxxxxxxx> 

Also several quiz lists - such as Quiznet <quiznet@xxxxxxxxxxx> - 
I've seen lots of quiznet members around in LI too (Hi Binand!!)

Back to the topic - the egroups web interface is a hassle, plus they 
put ads on each post (unless you pay them a small fee every month)

FWIW, they run a proprietory variant of listserv on a freeBSD box, 
and acc. to one of my friends, they are in the process of rewriting 
their listserver from scratch.

   Ghana is to change over to driving on the right.
   The change will be made gradually.
