WARNING Yahoo groups and Grouply

[tutaenui]

If you are a member of a Yahoo group and an organisation known as "Grouply" asks that you join, and then you can use their service to better track all your various YahooGroups memberships - sorta like an RSS fed thing I presume.

To join Grouply, you register with them by giving them your Yahoo ID and
password. Dumb idea. If you join Grouply, Grouply can go into the archives of each group you belong to and do the following:
Harvest the email addresses from group members.
Load and steal photos.
Load and steal files.
Add links.
Send SPAM in your name to all your groups.
For a moderator of a list, they could conceivably take control of your list and do with it as they will.
