Yahoo must hire summer-break students, or idiots who have
no village, because they have killed my accounts three
times, for helping out poor windoze idiots, and mentioning
that a Linux or BSD live CDrom can demonstrate that their
equipment is good, or bad!
You're not the first:

Once might be an error, but twice seems like policy.
Post details and I'll blog it.
I remember posting this to COLA. It's good that you blogged
it. I guess they have taken the book burning approach.
[H]omer, that is an interesting read. When stuff like this
happen, perhaps the best thing to do is submit a letter to a
corporate official by name, explaining the incident and concerns.
Although it could be indicative of a corporate policy, it also
could be due to some idiot in the IT department who monitors
postings to that forum/service, who happens to be bigoted toward
a particular product.
Usually when upper management catches wind of abuses by an
employee, is dealt with swiftly.
