NO you would not be excluded. The normal way is to accept joining requests =
which post a sensible note to the owner (i.e not from a spambot) then your =
first mssage is moderated (i.e. looked at for relevance, NOT censored) If i=
t is out-and-out spam you will be banned or supended until you have cleaned=
 up the 'bots on your PC or changed your address/password if it has been ha=
cked. There are regular attempts to get through incorrectly set uop Groups.=
 It it is regarded as way off topic, or breaking the owners rules you may b=
e warned and stay on moderation. like somone who persistently sends 10MB at=
tachments through the Group.=0A=0AAt least that is the way the groups I dea=
l with work, and it is extremely successfull one has over 3000 members.=0A=
=0AThe only reservation I have is that new list owners seem to be able to u=
nilaterally subscribe participants in another Group to their Group. These a=
re then hit with spam. Yahoo will not remove this function and is slow resp=
onding to complaints about regular offenders. Unfortunately they get your e=
mail address when you log into the spurious group to unsubscribe. I have no=
t had oo much trouble with tis recently so maybe Yahoo have squelched it.=
