Greg,

I didn't know you needed "authority" to make a "request." <G>

Specifically I believe you are in violation of Article 10 of the TOS:

"10. NO RESALE OF SERVICE
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit for any
commercial purposes, any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or
access to the Service."
Which you agreed to by getting a Yahoo account and joining the Group.

Thank you for your decision to remove the posts from this list.

Martin Wesley
