Yahoo would like to begin charging us to use their groups. I

believe it is very important that we speak out (via their survey)

and get it to remain free. This is a pretty long survey but please

complete it. I would like to see all the groups remain free.

Please take the time to fill out this survey.

Though I agree with your logic at first glance, notice it's a sweepstakes

survey, as in a way to gain access / permission to send us advertising? I've

not gotten any notices that charges are a possibility. Meanwhile, if they do

that after making us put up with pop-up ads from the sponsors, I'll not

remain.

I'd rather be obstinately safe than more sorry ... just jobhunting has

brought too many nasties to my computer.

,

Where did this survey come from - to you from Yahoo as a group owner?

I hesitate to click on the link you sent - what does the word sweepstakes

have to do with a survey regarding free vs fee for Yahoo groups?
