more Yahoo complaints

Mickey decided to bash Yahoo! He sent a message on the main RASC Toronto Centre listserv entitled "Yahoo Needs to Go." But without any concrete alternatives. Great. Thanks a lot.

That lit a fire. Bryon jumped on the band wagon. He was having major issues with his Apple products. Jason said he "hated" Yahoo.

I asked people to remain calm. Shared that even I was having issues. Assured them we were looking at the issues. But at the same time we had an investment in Yahoo. And it would not be trivial for us to take it on.

Jason told members to reply to him. Corrected it and send reply to webteam. What am I? Chopped liver? What about Ralph? The co-owners of most of the groups. Jack ass.

I asked Bryon and Mickey what they would like to do to help. Bryon was willing to listen; Mickey said he was too busy. Allard and I initiated a dialogue with all the squeaky wheels. Allard laid out some of the considerations if we wanted to integrate into our new Drupal back end. And all of a sudden, it got awfully quiet.
