I can't find it anymore. The last letter posted was from Walter H., perhaps two weeks ago. Hello, Tommy. That blog ran from last year October 21st until last week. Long time, eh? Well, I don't know what Yahoo! is planning for the abandoned groups, but it appears that Yahoo! won't let us help out...even with limited controls. I volunteered to make a head start, but Melissa Daniels never read back the details. Hmmmmmm..... Thanks from Ralph!

Sometimes even the TITLES are too disgusting for words. Several of us have sent notes the group owner e-mail addy, and have gotten no response. We've tried reporting to the Yahoo Abuse folks, but they tell us to contact the group owner - when told that the group owner has vanished, they say they'll look into it, but this has been about 6 months in coming with NO assistance. This pus pocket is posting from g-mail so we've also contacted them - nothing from g-mail either. When is this procedure going to be put into place so we can save an otherwise good group?

Our group owner passed away more than a year ago without leaving a moderator in place and although we can prove his demise we still have no means of managing the group and moderating the spam. If Yahoo! moves this slowly on the interweb they are likely to get run over by the more adept and adaptive providers out there. I think a valuable lesson can be learned from GM's impending demise. Move it or loose it! Well, here it is Dec 3rd and we’ve seen nothing on dealing with abandoned groups since Oct 28th.

I know from posts that I've read, that some groups have already been adopted - but there still are other posts where they say that they requested to adopt, but were told that Yahoo! won't do that and for them to start their own (different) group. Hey, the sooner you get started, the sooner you'll get this abandoned group mess cleared up.
