Vern.


    Oh yes I know what its like I used to be the Founder/Mod of the 
Olympus 5050 digicam users Yahoo group,but the time I closed it (cos 
Im not keen on Yahoo,with its advertising and pop-ups) I went from 0-
960+ members in 6 months or so,I moved my group over to a website 
called digi-darkroom.com,and I must admit it is about 10 times 
better than Yahoo (it is run by vBulletin),I`m glad that we wont be 
seeing anymore spam on this site,but the problem is also happening 
on other Yahoo sites,its a shame that there so many who want to 
spoil it for others.
