No . . . the problem is that you think your problem with Yahoo somehow
means that you should ask Logo questions on a Ruby list.  If there are no
non-Yahoo lists you can find, and you can't use a Yahoo list, perhaps you
should start a new mailing list.  It was in fact this sort of solution to
the problem of no viable mailing lists on a given subject that led to the
creation of such mailing lists as this one, the perl-beginners list, the
Caml mailing list, and so on.
