Re: Is Yahoo's not-free lunch worth the pain? (was [Digital BW] Re: Yahoo List Problems - cookies)

I'm with Sam, if we get to vote I'd pay to move this forum
from Yahoo. Of course I'm biased, as I'm one of those that
had my messages from Yahoo go missing for ~ several weeks.
That wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that Yahoo is
a black hole when it comes to trying to resolve such problems.
Even AOL is better at resolving problems.

My inquiries to Yahoo attempting to resolve the problems
with groups  go unanswered.

My own theory is that Yahoo has a filter that trashes any inquires
for help. The moderators of this list are helpful but have about
the same power to resolve such problems as do the users.
