> LOVE IT! Sar, you're the best... Quilting Today would get a lot of people, I'm sure! Anyway, yeah, one time last year, I think, the same thing happened, and my real e-mail address appeared on Yahoo... I was similarly mortified. The interface (the thing people like you and I see) is very confusing, and makes people put the wrong thing in the boxes. In the psy-babble administration post, I asked if this was the complaint dept as a joke, I know Dr. Bob is not responsible for the Yahoo troubles, nor can he do anything about them. The only thing we could do is find another chat provider and split off, making a post every week or so on the PSB board that it's taking place on another site. I'm not really up on these things, but maybe we can find out somehow where else we could do it... What's ICQ?

> BTW, I asked Yahoo admin if I could lose the e-mail but stay in Yahoo Groups, but they said no... How did people like Willow and Greg sign on without getting a yahoo e-mail address? I'm still baffled, and I'm somewhat of a geek! ... What gives??? Anybody out there who gets it?

> Wendyi too am wary of the chat function, cuz it stripped me nekkid last time i visited (since i already have a yahoo account). ICQ is a large chatroom center, i dabbled in it when i moved back to my parents' house and didn't know anyone for a month or so, it's very large and international and there are lots of annoying "ya wanna have cyber sex" messages that blip into any conversation you're having, but it's the only place i know of that you can open your own room. CAVEAT EMPOR: i am not a computer person. there are probably much better places than icq and yahoo to open a chat. any suggestions?
(by the way, dr. bob, if you're reading this, i'm not meaning to dis the p-b open. it just seems too exposing and complicated at this point--i've affection for ya bob, no complaints in this department).
chat with yall sometime soon?
