Thanks for this Grant, and thanks for being on top of things (as usual).  I
hope you don't mind that I've passed this on to another Yahoo-list I'm on.

I don't know how much more of Yahoo's proactive "protection" one world can
stand.  I have had a history of Yahoo getting things wrong for years now,
and then seemingly not knowing or caring how to fix it.  I just don't rely
on them anymore.  As I've mentioned elsewhere, I think Yahoo could break
sunshine.  



 
Shalom,
