Why, Yahoogroups, why?

Why do you make it so hard for writers to get in touch with others?

I have found several writing groups, some closed off to new members, which I understand but there are others that is like dead in the water and the only ones who are there are the porno spammers.

I want to find a group to help me edit my stories, give me support when the Muse flees into the night to giving me ideas on how a story should go and just chat about everything known to the writers.

I seriously am wondering if Yahoogroups is even worth having a group on anymore.

I am so tempted to open my own group there make it to where the new members are moderated for their first few posts and when they join, they need to say something as to why they want to join the group to keep the spammers out.

Maybe I will create a group called Writers Edit and Support Group or WEASG, I will have to think about it. I will post a new blog if I do create it.
