No such merger. Microsoft has been trying to buy Yahoo but no luck so far. A Google-Yahoo merger could be very bad for users of their collective free services (like us). I would politely suggest user error in your case unless your browser is often redirected. If this is the case, please let me know and I will offer some help.

On New Years day, I logged into Google groups and ended up at Yahoo. nothing I did could get me in to any of these groups. I wondered if there was something in the business papers that I might have missed....like some sort of merger, or failure. On Jan 2, 8:34 am, wncs <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, Cosmo.
