        I am not too familiar with unhosted web discussion groups. Most
don't handle
        graphics. I started the news letter three years ago  because I
thought
        graphics and pictures were essential. I was also fed up with the
anarchy,
        personal attacks and insults on the newsgroups.

Why not utilize something like a UBB or VBulletin  Forum software and set up
a forum. I help run a couple for flight simulation. They allow pictures, but
the picture must be on a server somewhere (easy to do with places like
www.photopoint.com <http://www.photopoint.com>  they're free!) . Each member
can provide e-mail and homepage info and more that show up as links whenever
they post a message. You can set it up to allow posting by guests or only by
members if you want. (keeps down on any flames)

Here are two examples:

www.cfsipgames.com <http://www.cfsipgames.com>   UBB

www.cfsforums.com/forums <http://www.cfsforums.com/forums>    VBulletin

I like them better then e-mail lists.....when I find something I must save,
I save as an .html or a text file. And they are accessible from any
PC.......
