Raised as a usability problem by 10 people on Hacker News over 11 years (2010–2020), in 7 threads.

People raised many different problems with Yahoo Groups, but no single problem has yet been raised by 3 people in 3 different months and threads.

Unreviewed issues were grouped by machine: Claude Haiku labelled each comment as a usability complaint, named what it's about and summed up the problem in a line, and a small model grouped similar problems. Nobody has checked them by hand. Expect mistakes.
