A Message from the Yahoo Group Team

[George Burke]

There is a simple solution to this problem, about which I recently posted. I
had the same bouncing problem for months. It is caused by your isp deciding
that you are holding to many emails in storage, (basically saying that your
mail box is full), and rejecting the email that this forum is sending via
Yahoo. I have been a member of various forums for years now, and never had a
problem until I bot a Bird, and joined this and another BB forum. The reason
I bounced was I saved a lot of the posts that you guys sent in, to help me
with later projects. I have Never been a Member of a forum such as this one,
that had so much useful information, that I felt like I needed to save. I
want to thank all of you that post for the great help, and for Ernie, Mike,
Ralph, for making such a great forum possible. Ron,Ryan,Larry, and Don, gave
me the answer to this bouncing problem in July. JOIN GMAIL. It is free, you
don't have to change your isp, and storage is for all practible purposes,
unlimited! Just go to Gmail, join, then go to your yahoo groups,hit
edit, change this forum to your new gmail address, and enjoy. Hope this
helps some of you, as I have already received a ton of info from you guys.
