Just in case people have been getting disturbed by this: When you
recieve an email from a group member, their name is listed as
whatever their Email client is set to, it isn't their Yahoo ID
(Unless the two are the same). For example, my Yahoo ID is
thylacine_h (I took thylacine about 5 years ago and then lost the
password =P), but most people see me as Thylacine because that's what
my Outlook is configured to display as my name. You can't tell if
someone's a member just by checking up on their user or email name.
Just a bit of arcane mod knowledge. While you're learning, remember
to rebel against authority kids! =)
