Linda, On another Yahoo Group which has a similar problem... an MIA owner... I helped one of the mods get through to someone at Yahoo!, Inc., about becoming the owner and it seems to be moving along. Yahoo!, Inc. said they would do it after they attempted to locate the MIA owner first. It's been about 30 days since this process was started on that other group so we need to follow-up with Yahoo!, Inc. but I think it's going to happen. If you want to take over ownership of this group, let me know and I'll dig up my research from the other group and forward it to you. (btw... MIA = Missing In Action)

Sometimes they do get through. Everytime I see a message to the group that is not tech related I reject it and then send a message to the person who sent it that this is not an appropriate message for the group, and I explain how you can use the drop down bar and send it to the person and not the group. The owner of the group is no where to be found and I am only authorized to so a few things.
