I'm inclined to agree with John on this point.  Is there not some 
query that could be sent to the server that would result in the 
listowner being divulged?

In other words, do as much detective work as can be done without 
involving TPTB.

Getting it removed would no doubt result in further fragmentaion of 
the group and I see no good reason to pursue such an action.  OT1H, 
it may cause a few to dual subscribe both to here, and to the yahoo 
group.  OTOH, those that don't are going to be left in their own 
little shrinking world.  Neither possibility is palatable to me.

Not so silly Q's:  Is anyone doing an autofwd to yahoo from here?

Is that a desireable thing to do?

I'd think so myself.  It obviously isn't being done from yahoo to 
here, and I've no idea if this is being fwded to yahoo, but from the 
lack of response I'd have to say no.  Many of us DO have mail agents 
capable of doing that, so I'm surprised its not happened.  My present 
kmail 1.6.0 could do that I believe, from the kde-3.1.95 install, 
with kde-3.2 being fetched for building right now.  Humm, at an 
average speed of 10k/sec on an 85k circuit.  The whole linux world 
must be overheating the servers :)

Are any of this group dual subscribed?

How much trouble is it to subscribe to yahoo?
