I subscribe to 15+ groups on Yahoo (not moderate) and I get the individual
emails on all of them and do not see anything like spam or that horrible
toolbar install.
At least try it before rejecting it. I know Jim and Larry have already tried
it but as a Yahoo groups user for many years I just do not see the problem.
