I sent the following feedback message to Yahoo! Groups about this abusive use of their service.
Feel free to also report this as an abuse of the Yahoo! Groups service until the problem is resolved. Dan ----------- As the owner of the perl-python group, p0lyglut (aka Xah Lee), has added two newsgroups to the mailing list of the group: comp.lang.perl.misc and comp.lang.python. First of all, I don't think anyone could have given Xah Lee an authorization on behalf of the newsgroups. I am not sure, but that is probably a violation of the Terms of Service in itself. I will leave this matter up to you to investigate. The daily messages of the perl-python group are unwanted by the two newsgroups. Just take a look at the follow-ups in the newsgroups that the perl-python postings have generated. I hope that not only the newsgroups will be removed from the perl-python group but that such an abuse will also be prevented in the future.
