Repeating messages and blank messages

For the past two days (January 31 and February 1) we have gotten blank messages and repeated messages. All of the messages were repeated on Feb. 1. I wonder how many of you have had the problems and have not mentioned it on the list? Also I wonder is a problem more on PC computers or on Macs? My computer is a PC. I subscribe to other egroups (yahoogroups) and one of them as had the same problems as the the tuning, one seems OK and the others have been silent for several days. Alita Morrison

I think the blank messages are from one that I sent through the
website. I sent other ones the same way, but only this one screwed
up. It did eventually got through to my e-mail account, but with the
wrong subject line. It may be something to do with the move from
eGroups to Yahoo, I expect they'll sort it out.

Occasionally repeated messages do come through. Although I didn't
notice any yesterday, perhaps it happened after I went to bed.

It shouldn't depend on PC/Mac/whatever. The way that garbled message
of mine came through may depend on your e-mail software.

A more worrying aspect of the change is that, according to the
agreement I saw yesterday, Yahoo claim to own rights to all the
content that we post. It looks like the same as the Geocities
license.

Here's a quote:

"""
(c) With respect to all other Content you elect to post to other
publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant Yahoo! the
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully
sub-licensable right and licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt,
publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform
and display such Content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to
incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now
known or later developed.
"""

It may be the list itself is the "other Content" they can't do this
with. It's not actually clear. But you should at least be careful of
placing original music in the "Files" area.
