 I have Yahoo groups for my club and I had to go to approving everyone that
uses because we started getting people posting for porn and everything else
you can imagine, for a short time I had to approve all replies then went
back to just approving all people that used.
 Let Ed do what ever it takes it's not that hard as many have said.
