It is probably not the fault of any member - if this 'new' group operates as described. The List members most likely signed up not knowing, and the grouply hijacked their address list. But, I have been thru all of the message posts this year (whew!) and the following members messages are now moderated (meaning they have to go thru me before they get to you) - either for the Grouply crap, or for other questionable posts: zappafrankfan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> zappatika <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> johnandsue2001_uk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mjhmjhmjh98 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> destories <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wicc_ed_stuff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you are one of the above, and wish to justify yourself to me (to get your posts unmoderated), please email me off list, and explain your actions. I'm not banning anyone from the List until I can determine how this crap got rolling here...

Sorry if this has been posted before but it needs to be repeated. An online group called "Grouply" asks you to register as someone on this group has "invited" you. Don't do it!!! It requires you to give them your yahoo id and then it takes complete control of your yahoo account and starts spamming everyone in your address book. It is relentless and will make a lot of enemies for you. Here is a copy of the email I received, again: ______________________________________________ RE: Frank?
