I likewise know that Yahoo has poor customer support, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. I'll try and followup on the lead about weather.com being the source for Yahoo's weather forecasts.

I received a standard reply saying Thanks for writing, but that was all. Yahoo's customer service has never been much good. I think they just employ a robot and it could not cope with my reply, but the first time I wrote, it had an automated response about choosing �F or �C. I expect you have had similar responses. > > > > David King > > ** Get Fast Broadband from �14.99 > ** http://tinyurl.com/5y7mf > > Excellent web hosting and email > http://www.1and1.co.uk/?k_id=3899401 > > Buy UKMA's report "A Very British Mess" ISBN 0750310146 > http://bookmark.iop.org/bookpge.htm?&isbn=0750310146 > > > > Gavin Young - Renewable Electricity Solutions wrote: > > >Hello Walter of Portland and Jason Darfus.
