[snip story]

I only have one concern. If my house was to start on fire, who or
where do I send an email for help?

Try Yahoo! technical support.

****s self

Maybe your irony detector needs some calibration. Not everyone uses
smiley faces, you know.

I guess that should've read: **** myself laughing... at the easily
discernible irony, at least for anyone who has ever tried to deal with
Y! tech support... kinda like I **** myself when they spurned the
incredibly generous offer for their right-next-to useless corporation
consisting of 5 people and 10,000 'bots

gpsman regrets the error.

Sorry, coulda gone either way.

Regarding Y! tech support: I have to say that, contrary to popular
belief, they actually have what I consider pretty awesome tech support.
At least to Yahoo! merchants (i.e., those with a Yahoo store). I worked
for a guy with such a site, and called them several times for help.
They're there 24/7, it's free with the service, and they actually know
their ass from a hole in the ground. I got the answers I needed every
time I called. Go figure.

Oh, and I talked to real people every time.
