It's not that we want to control what people write, after they're in the

must approve each applicant?
If so, have you had this [see below] problem, where the email request
for membership is received by yahoo, but is not transferred to the

I've never had that specific problem, but my Yahoo account has been
hacked twice making it impossible for me to do ANY moderating on my
list for long periods.
I didn't think AOL did public groups. The alternative is Google Groups
I believe. I'm only in one; they seem the same.
