Sure, Yahoo is free. Hard to beat that ratio. ;')

Heck, I don't even know how to have an upload area yet, or how to
allow attachments. 

One of the big problems with a mailing list Yahoogroup like this one
is that it becomes more and more difficult to find info as it ages.
With categories, at least you are starting with a huge percentage of
messages ruled out. The PIC list has some -very- strict rules on
subject lines, as things are divided strictly by what it says in the
subject line into categories. I think it sucks, as it is very
difficult to search the archives.

You can select "Watch this topic for replies", or check a box when
posting to do the same. I am not seeing such a subscription button for
a whole category or area. You would still have to go to the forum to
reply.

Have you looked at it yet? Give me some more feedback!
