This is correct.  No direct posting from the yahoo group but you can use 
forward instead of reply and then type in the harp-l address, 
harp-l@xxxxxxxxxxx  The caveat there is you'll need to make sure your 
yahoo group address matches an address that is subscribed to the real 
harp-l group.  www.harp-l.org to subscribe.  Remember that you can set 
the account at harp-l to nomail once you've subscribed the address.

You can directly post from the harp-l google group, same caveat.  The 2 
addresses must be in sync.  Nobody can just post to harp-l without a 
subscribed address.  It's how we keep the spam out.  In the case of 
google and yahoo groups we don't have an easy way of synching the 
addresses so you'll have to do this yourself if you want posting 
privileges here at the real harp-l.


Remember the google and yahoo groups just mirror the harp-l content. 
They are what are called archive groups.  Another plus of the google 
groups is it allows file uploads.  You can upload files to share as long 
as you belong to the google group.  I can't turn that feature on at the 
yahoo group because they don't allow member uploads in an archive group. 
 They also don't allow mp3's or music files in general.  Text and 
pictures plus you surrender your rights to the content if you upload to 
yahoo.  Not so with the google group.  fjm
