Sounds a leeetle odd to me, and might want checking into. Otherwise my level of xenophobia is quite low. Of course, a Yahoo group will be open to anyone who comes along, won't it? Can membership be restricted? (Quite out of the blue, I received a post the other day from the "Kingdom of Kerguelon" or somesuch; just a teeny bit on the language, and some amusing things like your own passport (for a fee). Quite wacked out.)
