An automated email will be sent through Yahoo upon your membership request. Prospective members must respond to the email in order to be considered for membership. This email may be delivered to your junk mail or bulk mail folder. Prior to requesting membership, please check the spam settings on your email account, especially if you are an AOL user.

If your email account is set up to only receive messages from individuals in your address book, and/or set up to immediately delete junk/spam/bulk mail, then you will not receive Yahoo�s automated message. You must reconfigure your email account settings to deliver ALL messages.

Likewise - if you email me directly, please note that I respond to all emails within 48 hours. You will not receive my personal reply if your settings are incorrect. I then have no other way to contact you.
