Yep...I have noticed this at times too.

This doesn't happen to me for some reason but I can imagine how annoying it
would be!  Does it stop if you turn off HTML in Yahoo ?

Hmmmmm...yes.  Seems to be two issues here.  A new private group as
suggested by John and a re-location of ukha_d to a new service.  Personally
I would not be in favour of moving the list to somewhere that didn't offer
the same level of control for the moderator that Yahoo currently does.
Perhaps it's not perfect but lets remember it is free and has lots of
services and a great web interface that makes my life a lot easier :-)

As you rightly point out automedhome.co.uk is hosted FREE due to the
generosity of Kwong Li from Laser Business Systems (www.laser.com).
However, I wouldn't like to impose further on Li's kindness.  Would people
use forums if they were faster?

Lots of ideas floating around - appreciated everyone's input.

Thanks
