To find moderators, go too the group home page, click members. once
there, look towards the top, you should see a link that says moderators,
click it, then you will see the moderators listed.
John is correct in all he said in this post

In some groups, clicking on the Members menu item allows accessing a
list of moderators - I don't know whether that works here because
Yahoo provides a slightly different menu to moderators so I can't
check. Perhaps someone could comment on that?

Hi Marty,
Now isn't that a good question? They are a mysterious bunch who
don't advertise much!
I noticed a post a few hours back from Clint who identified himself
as a moderator here. You could also contact the list owner on the
principle of going for the boss or if we just bounce messages like
this around, one of them will pop his head up for sure!

they are?

Hi Marty,
You WILL be posting some nice close-up picks of that parting
tool
and especially the business end, won't you?
