I sort of do to, since I do some of the moderation. On the other hand, 
Yahoo groups is the only place I use this userid and password. If 
someone tried to use it, it would be no more than an irritation to the 
groups I'm a member of.

I've got close to 20 groups here, so moving one group isn't going to do 
anything for me. In fact, moving it to Google would be more of a 
security risk, although I expect that Google has better security against 
this kind of massive hack.
