  When I complained about group spam a couple weeks ago, I got this 
  from the group owner.

  In other yahoogroups I'm in that DO have the "approve only" option 
  set to on, I have seen NO problems.

  So I wonder what the other group members think about this.  I vote 
  for going "approve only."  Anybody else?


  (And have you noticed how EVERY SINGLE GROUP SPAM is for websites 
  based on MCI?)
