Or it could just be coincidence, and someone else has latched onto 
your email address, having nothing to do with Yahoogroups.  I use 
this address exclusively for Yahoogroups, largely HP, but a couple 
connected with television shows I like.  I receive an average of one 
Bulk email a day, which I delete.  My other email address is used 
for things like my church email, being contacted by my architecture 
professors, my family members, etc.  I'm not on a slew of groups 
under that address, and the few groups I'm on are tiny and I never 
post on them except through webview.  And yet on that address I 
receive massive amounts of junk mail, much of which ends up in my 
inbox (although a lot still goes into the bulk mail folder).  

Other things I've done, though, are to read the HPFGU posts only on 
webview (the volume is just too huge for me to want to send all 
posts to my mailbox) and to put a lot of filters on my email account 
to send junk right into my trash folder.  I have filters that send 
mail there if I'm not the person to whom it is actually addressed 
(this covers a lot of junk mail), and if there are certain stock 
words or phrases in the the subject line (judge based on the junk 
mail you're getting now which words or phrases will help you weed 
out the majority of the junk).  I've done this on both accounts, and 
yet this one never has junk mail that seeps into my inbox, while the 
other one gets an avarage of 30 junkmails a day that aren't caught 
by either my filters or Yahoo's bulk mail filters.  Go figure.
