Sandy Yahoo removed chat and "Blessed" the group owners with a "Spam Filter" The Spam Filter is not needed when the group has a restricted membership and only members can post. Of the groups I own/co-own the spam filter caught one of my co-owners and thats all. FWIW LB file section, calendar and lots more features. They no longer have a chat function; can't remember why they said they removed it but probably due to abuse. Just my two cents, which is often worth considerably less.
