As far as I know, and I could be wrong since I have not researched this recently, Yahoo does not allow that kind of post.
If Elecraft had a Yahoo group account then all of those posts would be under the login name of Elecraft and not the individual members who posted to Elecraft. Thus, all of the Elecraft message posts would be coming from one login account name and that would really mess things up. Also, if this feature were supported, it would allow Elecraft members to implicitly post to the Yahoo news group (possibly without their knowledge or approval) without having been registered to that newsgroup. This is another faulty feature if Yahoo allowed it. 73, phil, K7PEH On Apr 28, 2012, at 11:39 AM, WILLIS COOKE wrote: > That is news to me, but I'm confident that Eric knows.
