I think it is traffic levels. Yahoo group servers are most likely choking
on their own. I am subscribed to 10+ Yahoo groups. Some of
these groups have averaged about 2 posts a week. They are now doing 20 an
day. Groups that were doing 20 posts a day, are doing 20 posts an hour.
Given the thousands or groups they have, and the likelihood that most
groups have seen a increase, they may not be able to handle this type of
load.
