I don't know that you want to aquiesce in advance, without any qualification, to imposing restrictions on posts here, Rick. That doesn't leave you with any wiggle room for negotiation. How about, "If you would like to suggest changes in the group description or restrictions on posting language, I'll be happy to consider them"?
Don't make it too clearly a quid pro quo, and don't sound as though you're willing to rewrite the description and clamp down on members according to Yahoo's slightest whims (even if you would be if push came to shove). You're the aggrieved party here, and you're willing to make some concessions, but not to sell your soul--that's the impression you may want to try to convey, it seems to me. --- In [email protected], Rick Archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My letter to Yahoo: > > I am the founder and moderator of FairfieldLife - > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/.
