Just so you know: unsubscribing from firebird-support doesn't always
work. When I changed email addresses last year, I unsubscribed my old
email address, but continued to receive e-mails on it. I had to file a
support ticket with Yahoo to get that fixed.

Apparently there is a bug with groups with a large number of
subscribers. They need to manually trigger a rebuild of the subscription
list (or something like that).

I am not sure where I did that, but it was a support page buried deep on
the Yahoo page, and apparently not everyone at Yahoo is aware of the
problem because when I had to do it a second time (different group), the
initial e-mail I received from the support rep didn't know what I was
talking about.

In groups with more than 400 members: Yahoo! Groups uses a “replicated
database” system (for scalability and performance reasons) and sometimes
the system gets out of synch. In these situations, Customer Care can
help you by “resynching” the database.
