This is a case of not quoting enough. The rest of my response was: "I can't tell you how many times I've gotten e-mail from my Yahoo! groups that were incomplete because of this limitation. It's not always a question of scrolling down, as there may not be anything down there to see!"
I never said that *I* had a Yahoo! e-mail address, only that I receive e-mails from my Yahoo! *groups*, which are discussion boards similar to this list, from which I receive dozens of e-mails every day. There are many advantages to having a Yahoo! e-mail account. First of all, it's free. Secondly, you can access your e-mail from anywhere in the world, not just from home or at work. I know several people who have a Yahoo! account because they don't have internet access at home, whatever the reason might be. One case in particular: My friend lives on a fixed income, and internet access from home is out of the question financially (so is a telephone, for that matter). So, he goes to the public library to do his e-mail, or any other place he can access the internet. So you see, not everyone can have a "real" e-mail address.
