That's in spite of the fact that Yahoo is _supposed_ to be against spam
according to their official position. However, that doesn't keep a
moderator from violating the rules and getting away with it for a long
time. I recently set up a group there (yahoogroups). If someone wants
to join, they have to ask to join. That way, I don't offend anyone and
I get a chance to verify whoever asks.
I get spam for other reasons, not connected with yahoogroups. I use Tom
Burleigh's killfile to kill it when I download. However, I don't blame
you for resisting the idea of yahoogroups and I also question just how
worthwhile it would be for a Net-Tamer user who can't really use Yahoo
very well anyway (except for the text news site). That said, I do use
yahoogroups myself and so long as everything is set correctly, Net-Tamer
is fine for getting and sending messages to a list.
