Just for fun, I did look at what a Group moderator can do..  {anyone 
interesting in processing Movie film can join the group I admin on.}

Each Yahoo Group can have up to ten members added a day.  A moderator 
can also send out an "Invite" 50 at a time allowing someone to subscribe 
to both the e-mail and also the web page for the group.

Someone wanting to send spam can of course set up as many groups as they 
want, by using disposalble e-mail addresses.

The Group you mentioned seems to be such a quick group.  Searching for 
the title I Find

If you can't even come up with a one line description....

To drop from the list their is a general format  for Instance if there 
was a "foobar" group you could unsubscribe by sending a blank e-mail to


     foobar-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com

so a mailto:skwft-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com should drop you from the spew.

I don't know how you can report spam without having a yahoo ID. 
Naturaly you can use a disposable address to set one up. But you will 
have to provide Yahoo with a real address to complain..

If you do set up a yahoo ID and associate it with your address, you can 
get a list of all your groups, and leave them all.  BUT that is a pain
