Maybe you should get all the facts before you open the hole in your face and come off looking like an idiot. As of today, they are no longer selling porn and will not enter into new contracts for adult-related advertising. Read this story at CBS MarketWatch: http://www2.marketwatch.com/news/yhoo/story.asp?source=blq/yhoo&siteid=yhoo&dist=yhoo&guid=%7BBE974E1D%2DCE16%2D4446%2DA7AE%2DAD43C79EBAC5%7D THIS MAILING LIST IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THIS CRAP. IF YOU HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT YAHOO, BITCH TO THEM, NOT US. Do you bitch to Microsoft about every porn site or site selling porn that runs Windows? I didn't think so. Now go away, dammit. - jim -- - jim mock <mij@osdn.com> - O|S|D|N - open source development network - - http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
