confused himself

Mangesh peppered the main Yahoo!Group with messages.

It started with: "Something happened and I got booted out of yahoo mailing list. Also password link is not working. My password is not working. Nor the SUBMIT button on forgot password link is not working. I have sent help request. I wish to remain in this email chain." Curiously, this was a reply to a message IN the main group, to the group, with the subject line "Comets." He clearly was seeing messages and able to reply. So still part of the "chain."

Ralph replied. Unfortunately, to the group. Still, he pointed out the replies were working. And Ralph intimated that he had checked his subscription on the group. So everything was OK.

More off-topic messages about his experience. It was at this point that I noticed he was using a Blackberry.

Phil replied and looped me in. Eric replied, off-line. Thank goodness. Pointed out that Yahoo has lots of password "checkpoints." Mangesh said, "Please add me back in." Then, "Maybe we can make this simpler." Um. Yeah. Computer says no.

Ralph confirmed he was in the list. He didn't understand what Mangesh was talking about. Me neither.
