[Dxbase] DXBase Yahoo Group

Mon Feb 21 20:27:47 EST 2011

Yahoo Groups are not a problem. I'm subscribed to several. Neal is 
right in terms of a place to store stuff for easy retrieval. Much 
easier than a web page. I have never seen a Yahoo toolbar. You must 
have allowed it by mistake. I'm not a salesman for Yahoo though. We 
should run with what serves the group the best. I think the decision is 
up to the owner though.
