Thank you everyone! I am hoping that this is the case here - There is a 'history' though that I have concerns about. I'll just have to wait to see if anything transpires. I haven't rejected the request yet. Should I just let it sit there and not reject it?

Nothing happens, nothing revealed. ~Lu ----- Original Message ----- From: cris To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 8:03 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Temporary E-Mail Yes - I need to be very careful. And there is no way we would invite this person to join - what happens at yahoo when we reject them? and if they can find the group, and if it is this person, they have already managed to delete groups from yahoo - what about my personal information is available to them? If it is this person, they know their way around yahoo, and around the internet and computers. thank you!

It is not a good idea to reveal too much about yourself, your address etc on the internet. Is the invitation to join the group signed? If no originating valid evidence appears, I would not entertain it. But, what is the group you are involved with have to say about it? Perhaps you could obtain help from that source. But, I would say, you are already showing suspicion. Act accordingly, Cris Others will contribute to this, I am sure.
