Yahoo's HTML is pathetic. I was trying to inform them that their e-mail service was being used for spam, and after intuitively hitting on the URL (no link from the main page), all I get is a bunch of raw HTML. Believe it or not, one of the biggest dotcoms in the world isn't aware that an HTML document should start with some indication that it is in fact an HTML document and not plain text. Perhaps the choice of company name is an apt literary allusion.

Their main page actually starts with .
Perhaps you had some other page in mind. :-)
A literary allusion? Interesting, I've never thought of that. I was convinced it's only an interjection (there's the exclamation mark...).

< html > got dropped from the first sentence.

It was their abuse page, if I remember rightly.
