Dear Yahoogroups subscriber:

Recently, I have become very disillusioned with a small group of
supposed ship fanatics who I hitherto respected. Because of their
continued censoring, harassing and immature actions towards other
posters they disagree with, I have decided to disband and delete (with
the exception of the SS NORWAY group) the Yahoogroups I originally
established. It is no longer a pleasure for me, especially when I
must "babysit" these few folks . . . former friends . . . who have
been the troublemakers.


Name names. Any RTCers?

God, I hope so.

Sorry if anyone is inconvenienced or upset.

Upset? Your the one who ought to be upset. To hell with the rest of
them.

Curiously enough, no. I don't believe any of the three troublemakers
read or post here.

The good part of the Yahoo groups is that the administrator can oust
those who are troublemakers (and anyone else for that matter).

The downside is that the Yahoo groups don't always work as well as we
would like them to.

....and unfortunately - if the group owner wants to retire, there is no way
to pass ownership to someone else.

It is a general problem with web discussion groups, web sites, and on
Usenet too, as there are a bunch of moderated Usenet groups that have
went dead when the moderater has decided to move on for one reason or
another. And of course their right to quit. At least with the Yahoo
groups, if anyone desires to take the responsibility, they can set up a
replacement or replacement groups.

There used to be a way to pass ownership ... I belong to and moderate
several Yahoo Groups. We had one of our list owners die, and we were able to
transfer ownership through Yahoo. If there's a will, there's a way.

You are correct, it is simple to change ownership and moderators on
the Yahoo groups. You can also ban members from the group who are
causing problems.

Changing moderators and banning members is simple, yes. Changing
ownership of the Yahoogroup without including the original owner in
some capacity (as a moderator or a subscriber) is impossible. I've
tried, others have tried . . .it can't be done. And Yahoogroups
"Help" is no help. If you have the secret, please post it.

Seriously.

Could you transfer ownership, keep yourself as a member, then in a few days
unsubscribe yourself?? Or just put your membership to "web only, no mail"?

We had a group recently where the owner transferred ownership and left the
group ... So it can be done.

I'll do some investigating.

I'd like to know as well. I'm currently President of a non-profit org and
have set up a number of groups for admin purposes. In June I'll be
passing-on the duties to someone else. I'd like to pass on the ownership of
the groups as well (I assume my successor would like to be unencumbered by
my presence)

I SWEAR that option wasn't there before g
How I could have overlooked such an obvious choice is beyond me.

Thanks all,
