Yahoo Groups is an email list service that happens to keep a web-based archive of the list traffic. Just because you delete your message from the archive doesn't erase the fact that you did send that message out to the group in email. My opinion, as one of FFL's moderators, is that if you post something to the group, it counts as one of your 5 daily posts, and erasing that post from the archive should not be considered as having rolled back your daily post count. Of course, Rick has the final say in this matter. What say ye, Rick? I agree, and was going to say the same, but you and Gullible Fool beat me to it. I read FFL by email myself.
