[ale] Yahoo Groups: perils?

[James Sumners]

I participate in a couple Yahoo! Groups lists. Notably, ATLDTV. I
haven't had any problems with them other than the spam automatically
appended to every email. Of course, ALE does the same thing; just not
in the same excess that Yahoo! does.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
