True. It didn't begin like that though (I happen to know a former colleague
of the guys who invented Yahoo. He work in my laboratory). But the first
creators sold it, and it became what we now know :(( .

Others simply contact other members, like a few did with me ;))) .

Only the listowner can do that, but this archive doesn't have a listowner
anymore, and Yahoo won't listen to anyone (the same problem exists with
Romanceconlang), and refuses even to erase this group. As long as they have
this attitude, the problem will stay the same.

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
