I don't visit any Yahoo site any more than I have anythingn to do with
Hotmail - it is simply an enormous spam magnet, and some pretty nasty stuff
at that.

Max --

Don't let fear of spam stop you!

Just sign up for a free Yahoo Mail account first, THEN sign up for the
groups with that mail account. Then, you can just read the group page and
forget the e-mails if you want. Group signups now have a "no-emails"
checkbox as well, so your inbox won't even be filled with group messages.

You're missing some pretty good stuff!

For what it's worth, Yahoo mail works pretty well, because they seem to have
very good spam blockers, and they give you a "bulk" e-mail box that they put
any incoming messages that aren't in the spam database but contain
"spammish" material. My C.Crane "specials" e-mails always end up in there,
for instance.

Give it a shot -- it's free.
