I was informed by a fellow member yesterday that this blog is copying all of our (and many other yahoogroups') posts and displaying them on their blog:
http://photographshow.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
I contacted Yahoo about it and got the response below (in summary, they can't do anything).
It may be that you consider your posts public anyway (our posts are archived publicly by Yahoo anyway). But, if you don't like the idea of your posts being re-displayed on this blog, the only action that can be taken through Blogger (Google) is to report each post as a violation of the DMCA. If you'd like to do this and you can find your posts on their blog, you can report them by clicking on "Report Abuse" at the top of the page (in the Blogger banner).

Dear Erica,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Groups.
While we investigate all reported violations against the Yahoo! Terms of
Service (TOS), Yahoo! has no control over activities outside its
service, and therefore we cannot take action. We recommend that you
return to the website on which you feel the violation is taking place,
consult their terms of service, and contact the appropriate
administrators with your complaint. If you do have further questions or
comments, please feel free to contact us again.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Groups.
Regards,
Charisse Nicole

This blog is reposting content from multiple yahoogroups including
mine (Photography_Beginners). The posts include the sender's
personal email address and info on what group it came from, so hopefully
that'll help in determining the yahoo id associated with this blog.
