Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

Here is the Yahoo e-mail response to my voice mail message:

"Hello,

Thank you for calling Yahoo!.

We're sorry, but the current version of Yahoo! Groups does not offer the
no advertising or buy advertising option you left us a voicemail about,
and we do not have an estimated date as to when or if it will be
available.

We are always looking for ways to make Yahoo! Groups more useful to our
users, and we will be sure to keep your question in mind as we continue
to make improvements to our service.


Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care."

Well I guess that says it all and we are more or less stuck. It might help
if everyone e-mailed and complained about the pop-up ads and the pre-message
viewing ads. You never know.

The e-mail address was:
support@...

Thanks again for all the thought and work.

Martin Wesley
