One other way would be to tell Yahoo they're not the frigging police, and
to mind their own $*(%_at_ business; yeah it's their servers, but if they make
the space available and *disclaim*, which they do, then they have no reason
to do this crap unless someone sends them a complaint of an alleged
copyrighted violation in a specific group. Arbitrarily washing through and
doing what they did is just plain not right.
I, for one, miss Des' group, and I'm sorry she's not going to do it
again. I hope she changes her mind, but if not, let's all thank Yahoo for
screwing a heluvan artist.
