Working with Yahoo Groups

[dqn@bignet.net]

Apparently there are problems with Yahoo Groups operations for people 
who originally subscribed to lists (such as this one) back when it 
was eGroups, and who now wish to unsubscribe.  See the article below.

As others have pointed out (and we have indicated here from time to 
time, as well), if you are having trouble with your subscription, you 
can contact the list owner at: (listname)-owner@yahoogroups.com to 
ask them to manually remove you from the list.  For this list, that 
address is:
  dq-rules-owner@yahoogroups.com

Hopefully this will not start a run on unsubscribe requests, and 
maybe we'll even get another post or two that's on-topic.  Things in 
the DQ world have been slow of late.

[Note: you may get more than one copy of this message, since I will 
be cross-posting it to a couple of DQ lists which I moderate.]

Thanks,

  ***No Easy Way Out For Yahoo! eGroups Subscribers***

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Yahoo! Groups, who manages former 
eGroups mailing lists has a strange policy on unsubscribing people 
who joined eGroups via e-mail subscription before eGroups have been 
taken over by Yahoo!--the only way to unsubscribe is to join Yahoo! 
(giving your full details and a corect e-mail address) and then 
unsubscribe using the Web interface. The e-mail unubscription 
feature, although theoretically still available, does not work. Looks 
like not all Yahoo! Groups subscribers are equal."
