I'm leaning towards declining the invite, as I don't like the way
yahoogroups 'works' compared to usenet.
IMHO, a 'forum' would be more LIKE usenet.

The only spam that I get is from Yahoo. I belonged to a couple of (hidden)
list and set up an email account just for downloading messages from them.
Those accounts receive spam.

No matter what happens to this group, I'm going to stick with usenet,
because I follow other groups. I've been participating in various
usenet groups for almost 20 years. I've seen lots of episodes with
unpleasant posters, but they never last long. Every time I've dropped
a group it's been because they've become too off-topic. That problem
tends to get worse with time, unlike malicious attacks. With some
groups, the day would come when I'd say to myself, "This group is no
longer about xyz, why am I reading it when I have so much else to do?"

I have very little free time, and it's unwieldy to read and post to
yahoo groups. I use Agent, which is very convenient and lets me do my
reading and posting offline. (I have a dial-up connection, charged by
the minute.) I know you can get yahoo groups as an email digest, but
that's much less convenient than Agent. With Agent I can mark the
threads I want to follow, and I'll just see those when I'm very busy.

I hope those of you who join the yahoo group will continue to
participate in this group, because I hate to see the group broken up
by a malicious asshole. It's almost like telling him he's won.
