Dan,

thanks for the info. I have in fact applied to join the group
with a very short-lived email address. Let's see if anything
gets through.

Just looked, nothing. Using www.mailinator.com. If Yahoogroups
doesn't reply in a timely manner, i.e. within 2 hours, there is
no chance that I will ever be able to join Yahoogroups.
