[Amps] Join kf4yox on Yahoo! Messenger!

[Scott McGrath]

All,

We may be seeing more of this as Yahoo has changed their mail system to 
incorporate
'social networking' features as represented by MySpace and Facebook. 
and/or LinkedIn (Corporate MySpace)  So a new user and ham
if they already use social networking software may think this is an 
appropriate venue and is attempting to 'Friend' other Hams. without 
realizing
that this is considered inappropriate by the community at large.    All 
communities have distinct values and Web 2.0 is no different in that respect

This is an education issue and probably should be dealt with by the List 
Admins.
