I've got to apologize publicly to Yahoo! here as part of my issue was my = own stupidity. It appears in the past I've had multiple Yahoo! ID's and = I was trying to use the wrong one, one that may have gone away a long = time ago, rather than my still active ID. Some helpful people at Yahoo = got me straightened out on that point. My apologies for disparaging = Yahoo! when it was my own fault.
Error or not, the recycling problem's real. I find myself having received some sales figures for a Jiffy Lube chain somewhere, and I have to assume that there will be a lot of instances where set-and-forget users have supplied their Yahoo address to business partners, financial institutions, etc. and who will continue to send confidential mail to the recycled address. ...
