I think it is a good idea. Someone needs to step forward as an owner (shuffles back) and another two or three should step forward as moderators (shuffles back further).

But seriously, eGroups has a lot going for it, though an owner should spend some time to understand all of the facilities and which should be enabled and which disabled. In particular, I like the facility to have the choice of digest, individual messages and web browsing. Also, there options to store links and files alongside the conference messages.
