Got a link to the discussion? I'd be willing to try to post.
SBCYahoo is run by incredible morons. I switched to Cox highspeed earlier this year it took 4 tries, 3 months and finally killing my credit card to get them to cancel my account. Meanwhile during that process they realized they hadn't charged a huge section of their dial-up users from Nov 04 - Feb 05 (which is when I started trying to cancel, I take credit for their find). The discussion board is probably coded by the same dorks that did the cancelation and billing systems and therefore doesn't work.
Yahoo is a conspirator of murder with the Communist Chinese!
Better to dump them!
I went to the article described, scrolled to the bottom, clicked on "discuss" and went right to the discussion thread..
According to the comment headlines I saw, you are right, though.. Sounds like a lefty convention..
