Subject: RE: [motm] First pics of my MOTMized Wiard MiniWave

From: David Bivins <dbivins@...>
Date: 2001-01-30

This is pissing me off bigtime. I ∗had∗ a Yahoo ID at some point, and I'm
not really interested in setting up another account. Worse, I am the ∗owner∗
of an egroups list, and they never even sent me an e-mail telling me how to
transition to the new system. So my mailing list is essentially held hostage
until I fill out Yahoo's bullshit form.

The deal is that Yahoo bought egroups and instead of letting the egroups
interface stand (which was brilliant because they only needed your f∗∗∗ing
e-mail address, not your freakin' pet's name) they're forcing everyone to
get one of their precious IDs.

Flaky flaky flaky.

Sorry for the grumpiness--worked the night through,

David.
