Best to ignore them, it's a reaction they want.

No worries Bobby, wasn't sure so I asked the question. As for yahoo must be cost saving and a prelude to closing their message boards down as they can't charge a buck for folks to use it.

Whether they drop them altogether seems to be a very real solution to them at the top! Vive la hmmm?????

Good post Lisa.

Yahoo was unable to silence us.
They are still down as of now 1pm Monday.
It looks like more people from yahoo have signed up here.

"the importance of celebrating the many benefits that a free and open Internet bring to our society" But only when it suits YOU, eh, Yahoo?
