Re: [gurps_magic] SPAM on the mailing list

As I mentioned in my last post, unless someone has the
passwords the whole issue is moot. The current
settings are locked by the owner and only he can
change them. Since he seems to have abandoned the
group there is not much point in talking about how to
fix this one.
Sadly, this is all too common a state in Yahoo Groups.
Abandoned groups become magnets for spammers. I
recently left 'gurpsfantasyrealm' for the same reason.


This group is dead and the spammers circle the
carrion!
