It's not really the "site" per-se, but the list-server software
that is not all that it's cracked up to be. It seemed okay when
we first set it up and evaluated it, but now it is leaving a _lot_
to be desired. I'm currently working on replacing the software with
a different list-server. Hopefully I can get the new one tested
and ready to go into use within the next few days.
