Since I started posting here, I've cancelled all my Yahoo group subscriptions, but I used to belong to Kathy's PC Loop, Let's Make a Deal, and PTPampered Chef (for consultants who do PC part time with a full time job).
It's safe to send them your consultant number. They just use it to verify that you are a consultant. Same with any questions they ask about policies.

No, it's a Yahoo group. I don't remember the link to their page, but you could search for it on Yahoo. All of the Yahoo Groups are email newsgroups. One of my clustermates still belongs to Kathy's PC Loop, and she says that traffic has been down the last several months - must be everybody comin' here to share and ask questions.
