There *is no Yahoo* that can talk to you in a proper way. Only employees. Look at it this way: a bureaucracy *is* like a machine, so designing an organization in which the employees behave like human beings toward non-paying-customers is very similar to writing a good UI for a large program --- but orders of magnitude harder. And you know how hard UI is. I dunno, it sounds like all we can really do is boycott Yahoo, as you suggested in the first place. Whether they'll care, I don't know. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
