Hi food_fighter_man,

It's Erika <freedomisntfree2003>
I am sorry that I am very late in the repose to your post/message,
but it's been real crazy around here for a while so I finally was
able to catch my breath and e-mail you. I am still very interested
in helping the group out, i.e., moderator or co-ownership. Something
just needs to be done about all this Spam messages that are posted on
the Board. So if you would like to work together I would be
honored. I just started my own ED Support Group at Yahoo Groups and
it's basically the someone as I have here at AOL Groups. I call the
Group, Eating Disorders Support for All and that's what it is. I
only started it a few days ago so I only have 2 or 3 members who are
friends of mine, but I hope that a lot will follow. If you have
ideas/suggestions that could help perhaps both of the groups grow in
membership that would be very helpful. The group at AOL has like 20+
members and I would like to see it grow in membership too.
I hope everything is well with you. If you ever need to chat let me
know. Take care and I will be looking forward to your response.

In Support Always,

Hi there, Erika!

I am sorry I didn't
respond to this sooner,
but I just saw this post
tonight.

I would be extremely happy
to help you in setting up
this group as a secure
group (as long as you are
a moderator).

The way I have all of my
Yahoo groups that I lead
set up are as follows:

An interested person
wishes to join a group.
They are required to fill
out an intro. This intro
is then emailed to me, and
based on the content, I
can simply reply to this
email and the membership
is completed, or I can
delete itand the
membership is denied.
This very easily gives me
control over who can and
cannot join. Then, in the
rules settings on the
group, I check on the box
that says "posting by
members only", which keeps
ALL the spammers out. It
really is great - - and it
just seems that these two
settings in this group are
currently not active,
which is why ANYONE can
join and ANYONE can send
email to the group (such
as spammers).

I will be so very happy to
help you set these things
up - please just let me
know! :)

Have a great night,

Food Fighter
