Hey, I need your help with a stupid project   Message List

This isn't going to cost anything, and you'll probably spend more time reading
this e-mail than it will take for you to help me out.

Back in 2005 I started a Yahoo Group called "Biker_Movies." It was a fun little
outlet for my obsessive need to bore people with my incessant blather (sort of
like what I'm doing right now). I would write up these insane reviews of forty
year old drive-in style Biker movies that I had in my DVD collection.

Well, with the adoption, I ran out of time and interest in the website. I turned
over my administrator duties to one of the other members. Things change, and I'm
now interested in reviving the Yahoo Group. The website is over-run with spam
posts and crap like that. I tried to contact the current administrator and offer
to take over the duties as Group administrator. Long story short, the current
administrator has since abandoned his Yahoo identity and e-mail address. I got a
"vacation response" that states he no longer uses that e-mail address. So, the
Group is stuck with nobody in charge, and no way to delete spam posts.

I joined a "Yahoo Group administrator self-help Group," and asked if any of them
had any ideas about how I could fix this. One guy pointed me to some information
that indicated I should contact Yahoo Customer Service and plead my case. It
also statesdd that I should start a poll on the website, and ask for the group
members' support. I did both. Yahoo contacted me today, and said that I was on
the right track, and that they would help me fix the situation once the poll
expired.

So, this is what I need you to do. Go to the Yahoo Group website (link below).
Join the Group (there will be a button in the upper right hand corner that
states "join Group" I think). Once you're a Group member, click on message
(post) number 104 and vote in my poll... pick the first option.

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/Biker_Movies/

Here is a link directly to the poll.

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/Biker_Movies/surveys?id=2376011

If you want, you can then terminate your Group membership. I just need your vote
(after all, it is the election season). I think the poll runs until 21 May.

Clearly, I have too much time on my hands. In my defense, I have been pretty
efficient these past few days with the housework, and that's why I'm involved in
this silly stuff. Something about idle hands being the devil's workshop and all
that. Plus, it's too rainy here to go out and ride the motorcycle.
