Sanders,

I track the list by individual e-mails and I have encountered a couple of
periods in the last year when I did not receive all the posts. Yahoo Groups
quality is not the best and seems to vary over time and location.

Unfortunately as group owner I have no better access to Yahoo than anyone
else, which is to say none. As far as I can tell Yahoo simply does not want
to talk to the users of Yahoo Groups period. Since we are here for free we
don't have much leverage.
