You can choose not to get any emails from a Yahoo group and only special (urgent) messages from the moderator/owners. Then you must go to the group to read them... that is my preference usually. You can hide your email address (always a good idea) in the Yahoo profile so no one bothers you and you get no ads either. I never banned anyone from rejoining any of the groups I have worked with unless they were kicked out for spamming or being rude of offensive to others.... Some groups can be very helpful... especially if you join one specific to your interests/needs (like the make of embroidery machine you own, the type of pet you have or even software you use or an ailment you have etc). Not all groups are the same, some are very casual, many are full of potential friends but a few are kinda rigid and some with some stuck-up members... but don't let those few poorly run ones spoil the whole idea for you. There are nice ones out there. It just depends on who runs them. If like a group then stay, if not just quit. It goes on every day in Yahoo groups! :)
