[NTLK] [Admin] Yahoo has broken our mailing list (and every other list too)

[Shawn Harley]

Yahoo...good description. ATT/sbcglobal/Yahoo, etc is horrible. It will reject my password for no reason, sometimes to the point that I have to change the password and talk to 'customer (dis)service'. It's "never a problem with their servers"...it's always "you must have changed something...". Yes, I did change something...I leaned on my right elbow instead of my left elbow.  What a bunch of yahoo's!!!!!
