Now, to save others the trouble... notice how it says groups.YAHOO.com there? Outside Rene's café. Eldin nails list of complaints about groups.yahoo.com to wrong door. Michelle pops out and preps for her usual spiel: <accent type="fake french accent as attempted by brits"> <beret action="adjust"/>I am Michelle of the resistance. Now listen carefully, I shall say this only once. The (conlanger) resistance lost control over groups.yahoo.com the moment it became groups.yahoo.com. We can do nothing, monsieur, nothing at all. Yahoo's tech support of the stuff they have taken over is world-famous for being abysmal. <rant title="Yahoo! stole my id" /> <rant title="Yahoo! destroyed webring" /> <musing title="What will happen to FLICKR now that Yahoo! has bought it?" /> I advice you, monsieur, to only use listserv@brown's own web archive and forget about groups.yahoo.com. <beret action="push forward" /> Vive la resistance! Now I must go rescue some kittens from onion-poisoning. </accent> Michelle leaves. Eldin tears out even more tufts of his/her hair. t.
