This list (cuny airline list) is semi-moderated. I have a list called airline discussion. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/airlinediscussion for more to join. For some reason, Yahoo is very slow today - I haven't been able to connect to it for over 4 hours now. I wonder if they are attacked by hackers to cause a DOS (denial of service)? Had the same problem with Google for a couple of hours earlier today.
