I fiddled with this to see what I can do (as moderator) about having these questions
deleted. It appears to be a new service Yahoo is offering called Yahoo Answers. Our
group is categorized as "Outdoor Recreation" so we are somehow comingled with the
hunters. Unfortunately I cannot turn it off altogether. I can turn what is listed to "all
categories" but it might be easier if people just ignore it when they are on the site. Sorry,
another vagary of utilizing Yahoo for our group list service.

I did a quick check on some of the Yahoo groups and only one, The Great
Lakes Group, had Letterboxing as their category. The Newboxers had
Hiking as their category. Main List, PNW, SoCal, Travelers and even the
Mod List were in the Outdoors category.
