Neal - one of my complaints about Yahoo is the ADVERTISEMENTS all over my screen that appear when I read Yahoo groups, when I read the current reflector I see nothing but my Outlook screen (Outlook v. 12 is my email client) my pop up blocker is not able to suppress the Yahoo pop ups and I am already fed up with rejecting the Yahoo toolbar which is do NOT wish to install. I also do not like that Yahoo will not keep me logged in very long but every few minutes demands that I enter by password and login again claiming that as a Yahoo security feature "for my own protection." These are among the reasons that another group I belong to finally said "Enough" and abandoned Yahoo groups ( I was not the moderator or owner of that group and had no control on the decision but welcomed it)
