I sent a letter with similar sentiments to yahoo about 2 months ago.
I also hate ( a strong word, yet appropriate ) Yahoo for their
successful destruction of a great online community.
I truly hope we can all catch up again at pfbranco's datsun1200.com.

I will never recommend their services, and will try my best never to
use their services ever again.

Please stop posting here, we are supporting yahoo.

Chris.
