Hi JoJo,

I am sure you have heard of SPAM.

I don't consider all those people advertizing dating services (or
worse) "members" of this group. They most probably have never heard of
Sandro Nesta and may not even know anything about football. They are
SPAMMERS! And I suspect they just mass-register and mass-mail in any
group with a certain number of members. In this regard, the MODs are a
victim of its (past, unfortunately) success.

I don't know if there is any anti-spam function on Yahoo groups. If
anyone discovers one and know how to use it, please let me know.

I try to delete spam messages as soon as I can. (Members who receive
messages by e-mail can try their e-mail systems' anti-spam function.)
Unfortunately, I am the only moderator still visiting and posting on
the MODs. As I said, I have been travelling for the past 6 weeks and
had very limited on-line time, so the spam has piled up. I would love
to ban any "member" who post spam, but unfortunately, again, only the
owner can ban members and I don't have that authority. Any member
annoyed with the spam can take this issue to Junko the owner when and
if she returns to these groups.

In the mean time, I will try to do a timely clean up job now that I am
home again.

Ming
