I think this one is impossible to enforce/implement because Yahoo's own
Group messenger does not do it .... from the source of the latest "offender"

Hello John,
Your point has been accepted. Perhaps I have been slack as
group moderator an I should go and re-write the group policies.
In reality there are only three things that are important to me as far as
policies go -
1) Content thieves that use e-mail addresses to post group content on the
web and take several days to weed out. This is my biggest irritation.
2) Members that do not know that we need to post below the original e-mail.
Once or twice is OK but some members keep going. I have even had one member
expressing dissatisfaction with my reminders to so called offenders.
3) The biggest pain for most moderators is flaming. With great gratitude, I
can say that this group has always been very conservative in this respect.
Point 3) has never really been an issue.
Point 2) is an ongoing thing with a group like this and I hope you have
patience with me. We have been running since September 1999 and we currently
have 2424 members.
Point 1) results in an immediate ban. There is actually a lot of work that
goes into this issue on my behalf.
I cannot remain as owner/moderator for too much longer. So if anyone is
interested then please say so offlist.
Any criticism is graciously appreciated.
Thank you, Robert.
