Dear Idle-Tyme (um...)

It seems I have to join the Yahoo group and agree to the terms of Yahoo in order to post and be a member.  Furthermore, I imagine that the group also has a "owner" or "moderator" or "leader" with the authority and privis to remove members or moderate posts.

The term "irony" comes to mind.

73,
