Spam from the old b3ta yahoo group

Yahoo has utterly fucked the admin interface and there's no option for us to stop this except deleting the entire account.

With huge sadness - we've nuked it.

You can still get the newsletter by signing up here:

Also if you want some more musing on Yahoo Groups, and why wouldn't you, we've bunged it on Twatter.

THANK YOU!
