Because it's not really terribly appropriate for discussion here. If
you want to discuss banking, no-one's stopping you setting up a Yahoo!
group to discuss that. If you don't want to have it on Yahoo! Groups
then I'm sure you can set up a mailman list or something similar to
handle it. If you want a hand setting up mailman then feel free to ask
me, but not in here.
