What I don't understand is that just prior to the Yahoo silver club being
formed, I had asked them to put one up and I offered to be the moderator of it.
They said that they didn't think that there would be enought interest and
declined, then a couple of weeks later added it anyway and put that guy on as
moderator.

Not sure what is going on over there.
