Hi, Dawn and Ann. I do respond to my messages. I check my email
messages several days each week. However, I chose not to get the
group messages in my mailbox. Instead, I must visit the Yahoo
website. So far, many complaints had been within the group, rather
than emailed to me. I'd removed those 2 spammers from this group. I'm
sorry that I took so long to read my new group messages.

does not respond to emails or to members making postings about the
spam.  This is how its been since I joined 2? years ago. 
Occasionally a real message will be posted and people will respond,
but otherwise,

most people in this group are connected off line to fans/filkers and
therefore do not need to use this as a place for conversation.  The
only way to stop the spam is for someone to start a new non-public
yahoo group and moderate it.

but I hope you guys can find a way to put a stop to it. I don't get
it in other groups, so something has gone awry with this one.
