Hi George and Colin, I know that this list isn't tied to Yahoo but I also assumed that there may be some people on the list who subscribed to other Groups hosted by Yahoo - whatever the reasons for them throwing me out, I don't know, but I appear to be back in 'favour' again - quite how long for I don't know. Thanks for all the help and for allowing me to raise this off topic problem - its nice to know that I am not suffering alone.

I didn't follow the discussion very closely, but I think that no one ever got to the bottom of the problem.

It is with Freelists. Personally, I now steer as far away from Yahoogroups as possible. I hate adverts appearing in messages.

Loads of people on the NCWFSA list have also been dumped out of that and various other lists. You've clearly managed to establish a fresh connection with this one however.

I subscribe to several Groups hosted by Yahoo. Unfortunately lately Yahoo (for some reason best known to themselves) keep suspending my account and sending emails saying that messages have bounced and if I am reading this email the problem has been solved. Then they ask me to re-activate my Yahoo Account. When I click on the link they ask for a Yahoo ID, etc. As I have never physically registered with them (only connecting via the particular Group's email address) i don't have this ID so consequently can't re-activate my account. Sending messages to them just prompts an automated response saying basically that it is an automated response. I have tried emailing the moderators/managers of the various Groups, but always Yahoo intervenes with the original message. If someone has a solution or suggestion, could you email me off list: val17@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Any help much appreciated. Regards Val.
