OK so I've just wasted half an hour of net time unsuccessfully trying to
"Edit my Marketing Preferences" on the Yahoo web page, as Walt has suggested
below.
I went to the main page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/naturerecordists/
I clicked on "Sign In" at the top of the page.
I was then asked to type in the following information:
Yahoo! ID:
password:
I tried typing in my name, but this was rejected.
So just what name or ID am I supposed to type in here? And what the heck is
my password?
