didnt understand what this was.. so i looked it up... http://answers./question/index?qid=20080208152833AA9F660 Best Answer - Chosen by Voters Grouply is under serious scrutiny (appalled scrutiny) by list owners for a wide variety of security and list violation reasons. (I know, I'm one of them and am involved in the discussions.) It IS a problem that they require your ID and password - anyone who's been on the internet for more than three seconds knows not to give out that information to anyone who asks for it uninvited and to look askance at anyone who does. Many list owners are banning/removing people who access their lists through Grouply, and are working with the Grouply founders to fix the serious

security problems that were discovered by list owners testing the system out of necessity because their lists' integrity was being compromised. The problems are legion, are being worked on (albeit with some reluctance in the case of some, and not addressed at all in the case of the inquiry as to whether it would be possible for Grouply to work WITHOUT the necessity of providing ID and password - resounding silence there), However, I, for one, as a responsible list owner, won't be allowing Grouply members to be on my lists until all the problems are satisfactorily resolved. 4 months ago Source(s): Various list owner/moderators' discussion lists, some of which have open archives if anyone not a member wants to get the real skinny on the problems that have surfaced and are being worked on. 57% 4 Votes Marty Cline <stompingelk@...> wrote: Grouply is tapping lists and reposting themessages to Grouply members.
