Yahoo! Groups were offline last night for system maintenance.
So that's why you couldn't access the groups page.

The domain "olive.org" has nothing to do with this group or
Yahoo! or those pages. It's simply that I registered that name.
Back in the early days of the internet, there was a rush on
domain names as all the good ones got taken. I missed olive.com
but managed to get olive.org. Registering a name gives you the
rights to use it in the future for a web site or email or
whatever you please. For example, EE has "enderton.org" and
JM has "unclened.com". (Right now "olive.org" isn't being used
for anything.) I also had "oso.org" but I let that one go.

Anyway, I get the impression that the olives-of-directors are
against any sale (not that a price has been mentioned!) so I'll
tell this guy to take a long hike on a short trail.

Bark!
