Hi, gang!

I take your complaints about accessing the site VERY SERIOUSLY. Just
this morning, I got the same message that I had to "accept" the extra
log-in because this was and adult site.

When I started TDU in August 2001, I used the path "Yahoo! Groups >
Business & Finance > Transportation > Streetcars, Trolleys and Trams"
as the selected group category. Never in my wildest dreams would I
think that somehow, this category got changed INVOLUNTARILY and
WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. So I sent a complaint to Yahoo! Groups to
rectify the situation. Like Mal, I couldn't find a way to change
this on the site itself, so, after searching through Yahell for even
an feedback form, I sent them a message. Now I hope they respond to
it on a timely basis.

I resent the fact that I, as a group listowner, even have to deal
with this. But I will do everything I can to try to get this broup
back to the "Streetcars, Trolleys & Trams" category where it
reightfully belongs.
