Without even looking at it, I can suggest that any web-based discussion
group is inherently less convenient than any e-mail-based one.  It's a messy
process to read a web page offline.  It's inconvenient to save useful
tidbits.  Most web-based groups have poor thread-management capabilities.

All that being said, I acknowledge that for some people a web page is
actually *more* convenient.  I'm not one of those people.

If Yahoo is really a problem, might I suggest you investigate other mailing
list options before abandoning a mailing list altogether?
