    And What If You Can't Get in, or Forgot Your Password?

    That's simple. Here's the drill.

    1. Just enter YahooGroups home page at http://www.Yahoogroups.com
    2. Where you see, mid-page, the slot to put your email address to register... Don't! Instead click, "Forgot?".
    3. You then just calmly follow the routine, bearing in mind that it will take about two minutes for the robot to send you via email your 'validation number'. (Be sure to check your email to get it.)
    4. From there on in, it's quick. Just follow the several instructions and you are back in and fully registered and ready to go.

    Thank you for your patience in this. We know that can be trying, but neither did we learn to read over night.

    A Closing Word on YahooGroups

    For the last several years we have been using YahooGroups as the supporting platform for this central communications and information storage function. We chose to do this because we felt YahooGroups provided useful functionality in support of our independent cooperative program, and because it was free (bearing in mind that we carry out all these programs under The Commons without any form of external financial support... so money is scarce). The only shortcoming of this arrangement is the publicity messages and the need to sign in, but this has been judged by most of our colleagues as a bearable inconvenience under the circumstances. Until recently, that is, since things are steadily getting more intrusive and off-putting.

    On the other hand, you may have some better ideas for us. We know we can do better and want to hear from you. So if you have leads, free storage space or funds, don't be shy.
