What for? Retaliate? Do you have more accounts to be yanked?
Settle your dispute with Yahoo, they are the ones who didn't give
you a reason, allegedly.

Hey, that is really cool. I tend to think of Yahoo as a bunch of
sleazy yahoos, but my estimation of them has just risen a few
points.

What exactly is an asshat? A hat for your ass, or a hat made of asses?

I thought it was a typo for "as shat".

I guess if anybody who has a Yahoo email address misbehaves on the 'net
in general (Usenet included), it reflects poorly on Yahoo. But you should
ask them to know for sure.
