Question

Based on your yahoo email addy can people see what yahoo groups you belong to?

Answer 1

generally speaking, no. based on e-mail unless it was an open archived group, would a search even pop up members posted threads.

if a member scrolls through a member list and happens to see your Yahoo ID, but that could be pure coincidence and the odds of belonging to the same groups.

somebody probably could spend a lot of effort and time, but people really don't care what other groups members belng to.

there is no search based on Yahoo e-mail alone that determines what groups that e-mail is a member of.

Answer 2

Yes they can if they know certain things about computers.

Answer 3

Uhm... yes!

As long as you are using that email address for your Email Delivery and provided they also have access to the members list of said group and they know your specific email address, they can determine if you belong to a particular group.

Obviously there are a couple of hurdles, but in theory it is quite possible depending on the amount of "virtual" legwork that person wishes to incur.
