To answer your last question , first.  There are two Robs on this list.  You 
(in WA, Ithought) and Rob in VA.  I knew from the email address that you are 
the Rob on farmer's lists.  There is only one Don.   By the way, I had 
forggotten to paste the message.  It is from "cordwood  "guy", at grouply  ? 
(I don't know what grouply is) When you clicked to his grouply site is when 
you are asked for your yahoo name and password.   Thanks Rob, unless I hear 
otherwise, I will not respond to his invitation ...bobford

No. I can't think it's ever safe to give out a password.
There was a batch of some group or whatever looking to 'manage' your 
yahoo groups for you, this was a couple of weeks back. I guess when 
someone did it the program took the password and sent invites to 
anyone it could. I didn't see it on any of farmers lists but it was 
on a couple of others
What has this got to do with WA?
