I've been seeing the same thing in this and other Yahoo lists.
Also, as list admin, some other behaviour, such as getting a 404 error
when I click through the supplied link to a post that requires
moderation. The latter problem went on for a week but it seems to
have been resolved now. I wonder whether Mark saw the same thing with
the Firebird-Java list.

Yahoo recently underwent an ownership change: it belongs to Verisign
now. I concluded that our list problems were probably due to new
hands on old software as the Verisign people gradually move the Groups
archives to their own servers. There's also the activities of
U.S.-based list providers having to become compliant with the EU
privacy laws by the July 30 deadline. It's probably a mix of
circumstances.
