The price of free

The price of free

2008-10-18 by John P

Dear Group,

It's come to my attention that some members have been uploading pictures
or other material to the group that's not about Serges. It's my job to
oversee this and other group issues, but a while back my Yahoo account
got messed up. Yahoo support will not fix the problem. They don't want
to waste tech support time on what for them is not a money maker.
Meanwhile, I am trying to get the problem resolved in other ways. Till
that happens, I cannot access the group.

If my efforts to get the account restored fail, I don't see any course
other than to abandon the group. I am however open to suggestions.

Thanks

John P.

You're posting, though and that's worth something! Why do you want to abandon the group?

I haven't seen any non-Serge related media uploaded to the Group. Is this something that happened recently?

Maybe you already tried this - Can you create another account for
yourself and join the group? Can you get moderator rights transfered
to the new account? Or for that matter, can you transfer those to
someone else now and then have then transfered back?

Would be a pity for you to abandon the group. If it looks like an
impossible task ping me offline and I'll see what I can do going
though a different chain of command.


Cheers -- Bill
