Could you send a message to owner, that would then be received by moderators, asking that a moderator respond back to you?
HTH, Bob S

First of all I do not know who the owner is.? I do not know who any moderators are if other than the owner.? I have sent messages to the canned yahoo owner email which goes unanswered as do all of my messages to the group while I wait for someone to approve my message (never happens).? This has been happening for over 2 years now so the group is definitely orphaned.? The group started in 2002.? I found 3 messages from the owner to the group asking for 2 or 3 backup moderators.? I was not a member then.? I saw one message from one member volunteering but saw no reply.? I found a partial address in the yahoo message for the person volunteering as backup moderator.? I duckduckgo'd him and got a google groups message that had...his domain as part of their truncated email address.? I have sent him a message but no reply.? In short,? I can't find out who really is the owner and/or moderators and that is the problem, or at least a good start on solving the problem.

As Shal said, this could be VERY tedious. In my old YGroups maybe at most 1 in 500 messages.

As a maybe shortcut... if you have a number of group messages saved on your home computer, you can use a local global search tool to search your email archive for that group for "X-eGroups-Approved-By:" and maybe find it a lot faster and easier.

You might also do a search on the group for terms like "Moderator" or "Owner" in hopes that was part of the signature or other identification in a message from the Moderator.

I did that already.? I came up with 4 messages from owner to group asking for backup moderators in 2006 ad 3 are linked here:




I sent a message to the volunteer asking if he got the position.? I was surprised that the email did not bounce after 12 years so there might be hope but it could also be an abandoned address like my charter.net address.? It took a bit of doing to get his address.? Yahoo truncates the domain.? Searching the volunteer's name and part of email got me a google groups message by him and google truncates part of the user address but gives the domain name (?) so I did send an email to him so we will see but suspect that it is a loosing battle.

Thank you.
Jim

Good luck!
