Joined a Yahoo group for pellet stoves, I haven't even posted one message and I have gotten about a hundred emails with pellet stoves in the title that have turned out to be links to porn sites. Just wanted to let everyone know. Stay warm.

What's the name of that group? Wanna make sure I avoid it, yeah, yeah, that's the ticket.
 
You are already at the best forum on the planet for pellet stoves. I found the yahoo group to be just about useless. But if you must sigh up go into the setup and select not to recieve emails and the issue goes away. FYI
 
JT is corect , if you go to your preferrences and set it so you do not get notices you dont get spammed with the pellet stove thread responses. im a member in there as well have been for a while but i had to go back and check that box and the issue went away
 
Well... Porn sites do have a tendency to get me warmed up, as do pellets! There must be a relationship there somewhere.

I couldn't agree more with you. The page that linked me to this site, also had the yahoo junk site. I went there first just because I use their email. Then I went to this one and haven't been anywhere else. Thank you all very much for all of your advise.

Personally, I find any source of information valuable, even if it is only pompous, opinionated, self - serving drivel, spewed out by paranoid psycopaths with their own agendas. Guess it all depends on your outlook. BUT, then again, that's just MY opinion
