AH HA! We finally come to the nub of the matter. It is absolutely clear that owners (and Yahoo!) own the group and not the membership. This is not likely to...
i agree with you al to a certain point yahoo should contact the group owner before they zap a group so it gives the owner time to sort out what is wrong. yahoo...
bill, Thanks for the thoughtful response. Some more points to consider. 1) Y!G is, i believe, meant to be for casual uses. If i remember correctly, commercial...
