I receive vpFREE in digest form.
Recently Yahoo has been sending only every 3rd digest or so, so I've only
been picking up pieces of what's happening & haven't bothered to log on to
the groups area to pick up the rest. It's also done this with Lodestone
digests.
Another group (not VP) that I belong to which has 3 times the volume of
vpFREE, I've received every digest.
Maybe Yahoo has a bias against VP groups
