Grundig Satellit Yahoo group
I've been trying for 3 weeks to join the Grundig Satellit Yahoo group and
my membership has been pending since 3 weeks ! I have sent some emails to the group moderator but he looks like being either blind or dumb. I do hope he is still alive. I know the memberships must be accepted. I don't see any reason why mine should not be. Well, that's my opinion !!! I have joined a lot of Yahoo groups in the past, it's the first time it happens. Did anybody experience such a delay in joining this particular group? Does anybody know what I could do to make the process a bit faster ? I just want to use tact and discretion ! Thanks in advance D. Kremp Normandy/France |

Thanks in advance D. Kremp Normandy/France You need to bear in mind that some groups are private groups. And membership is by sponsored invitation only. There is no requirement that all membership applications be approved. The list owner is under no obligation to include any person who wishes to join. And often there is no reason to the approval process. In the case of this particular group, my own membership was by sponsored invitation, took only a couple of days and was accomplished with a couple of e-mails. In the case of this particular group, the list owner is often on the road, and may simply not be available for your application. This is his busy season. He and he alone may accept new members. So, you may simply be in a holding pattern until he returns. Then again, I resigned from this group nearly a year ago, so this information may be outdated. Inquire from the list owner. Be tactful. If you receive no response, inquire from another member if there's a problem. p |

BMC I doubt it's anything as sinister as that. I think that it is much more likely that you got rejected due to anti-spam measures gone wrong. Recently, I noticed the moderator of the SW77 group mentioned that about 20% of the applications for his group were spam-related. He sends out an e-mail that you have to reply as a short note back, and you're in. Some of the automated anti-spam measures on Yahoo Groups have been known to go on the fritz as well. If you included an "anti-spam measure" like you did (smartly) in your usenet address in the post above, then the automated measures (or an admin not paying attention) would get a bounced note and not let you in. I suggest you re-apply using this method for dealing with Yahoo Groups: First, open yourself a free Yahoo mail account. Then use that account to apply for the admission to the group (after all, you could care less if it gets spammed). Just be sure to check it until you're in. -- Stinger |
Thank you everybody for the comments & advices
