Nutbag neighbors!

My neighborhood has a Yahoo group of almost 650 members. However, people publish there like it's an intimate group of their closest friends. Here's one example of someone blathering on to members of this list about members of the list but not making their intentions clear:

*** and I and many other friends and neighbors spent several hours at
the
hospital yesterday and today. There are lots of relatives there, too.
Since
only a few can see her at a time, and she will be in the ICU for quite
awhile, it might be good to allow the family a day or two before some
of them have to leave. We are told that she will be there for several more
days. If you would like to help with providing *****'s family with
meals along with other friends, call me at XXX-XXXX, and I will put you
in touch with xxx xxxx, who is coordinating this effort.
