Dave,
... the most likely solution: the member just totally deleted his
Yahoo groups account.
Hmm... I seem to recall there being log entries for this case. "Left group via system" or some such.
I joined my test group with a test account, intending to test this by deleting the test account. But the test account's join doesn't show in the log (yet?). So that doesn't give me any confidence that I'd be able to tell what happened.
Too, the activity logs for Y!GMF appear to be entirely offline for me at the moment: no entries of any form. Sigh.
Yahoo wouldn't send out a 'left the group' message for a member that
no longer exists in their computers.
Maybe. But in prior days they were pretty good at logging all membership events, including removal by act of Customer Care - people who had their accounts deleted for cause (TOS violation) would show as removed in group logs.
But it has been so long since I've heard of a case where someone deliberately deleted their own Yahoo account that I can't say for sure if that was logged.
