Melissa:
Actually, a bunch of lists that I was on were deleted just last week.  The
owner was told that her groups were in violation of Something, but Yahoo
won't tell her what.  There was no investigation.  One complaint about a
violation leads to the group being shut down.  (I seem to have bad luck with
the lists I join.  I hope I'm not bringing HPFGU bad luck!)

Of course!

Melissa, hoping this will all work out somehow
