Die, Yahoo, die!

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.

Or maybe they just couldn't spell hynohynmmhhh or however the hell that's spelled.

What's going on? I speak on everybody's behalf when I say we miss your journalistic presence!

I've not been in the office much, and I have serious bandwidth problems at home (no ISP charges, but I pay normal telephone rates while I'm online). I've also been busy on my mega-paper. I've got as far as the section on happiness, but realised that I'm not the best person to write about this subject, being the sourpuss that I am.

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...).

Oops

< html > got dropped from the first sentence.

It was their abuse page, if I remember rightly.
