No, the last batch of SPAM with porn advertising appears to have been just a 
random occurrence unrelated to the past when someone from the yahoo group 
was doing it using a remailer.

It is strange that the last batch only seems to have been sent to this group 
and no others that I am a member of but it was easy to trace and I sent 
complaints to the SPAMmer's ISP and webhost.

With an open group like this it is possible to get SPAM but it is a rare 
occurrence and I prefer an open forum.  Added to that no one is going to use 
terroristic methods to force me to join their group.
