Re: Moderating
There's no support team. Everyone is a volunteer. And the support email address is mostly for bugs. There really is no other reasonable option besides this group, and that's the point I was making in

Re: Moderating
I can see where you need to have a very tightly controlled group. My groups are different, and, frankly, I don't see where GMF needs the kind of rigid moderation you require. I didn't know Shal was

Re: Moderating

Re: Moderating

Re: Moderating
Stan, I said that I agree with Barb that some groups probably need moderating and that is up to the owner of that group, not you or me. My group is not moderated and never has been. Cherrill Your

Re: Moderating

Re: Moderating
Stan, I think the site is safe. My company has used it to check all of our company email addresses and haven't had any problems. It did turn up a couple of addresses in data breaches of retail stores

Re: Messages under wrong year!
Philip, It is possible that is not a bug. Some Yahoo Groups started by migrating the membership and archive from an earlier service. Basically what your Groups.io group did. You could have a look at
