User Name Work Arounds

On the issue of having your name appear with a post to the list 
rather than your Yahoo account name or an E-mail address there are 
two ways to get around Yahoo Groups servers current mental breakdown.

Reply or post from your e-mail software and use an "Identity" (that's 
what it is called in Outlook) name that is your real name or the name 
you would like to appear with your post.

For posting on line at the group site, create a profile in your Yahoo 
account that has a profile name identical to your real name or at 
least as close as you can get.
