and i got this in the OTHER active group I subscribe
to:

===========================================
I'm still receiving emails that are dribbling in from
up to two days ago. Yet, every now and then a few
messages post "instantaneously." Must be a problem
with multiple servers at Yahoo, one or more of which
are having problems ???

This is not wholly unusual behavior for yahoogroups. I deal with it all
the time, as does JohnnyB.

It's likely not Yahoo itself, but probably a bottleneck in the bandwidth
between their servers and wherever you are receiving your mail, if it
gets a large quantity of yahoogroups mail.
