[Dxbase] DXBase Yahoo Group

Yahoo Groups are not a problem.  I'm subscribed to several.  Neal is 
right in terms of a place to store stuff for easy retrieval.  Much 
easier than a web page.  I have never seen a Yahoo toolbar.  You must 
have allowed it by mistake.  I'm not a salesman for Yahoo though.  We 
should run with what serves the group the best.  I think the decision is 
up to the owner though.
