Does Anyone "Yahoo?"

Sorry to trouble the list, but I have a computer-type question. Another
move from Uncle Sam has brought us to Robins Air Force Base, GA and a new
e-mail address (after 5 months without a home computer and TC 3452 still in
storage). Problem is, I would like to use my old e-mail log-on and password
(getting harder to remember new stuff as each year passes) and the system
won't let me as it says it is already taken (by me at my old e-mail
address). Have tried the Yahoo prompts and tried using my new e-mail
address as a Yahoo "Additional e-mail address", but to no avail. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks.

All I can say is good luck. I forgot my yahoo ID and I need it to make
some changes in my profile. I contacted yahoo and have been trying to
get a positive response from them for the past 2 months. I have yet to
get anything but a computer response to my numerous emails, none of
which even closely relate to the questions I asked. I don't want to go
to the extreme of stopping my subscription to the list(s) and signing on
again. Is there any other solution? All I want to do is be able to
respond to the list from work, but Yahoo doesn't recognize @att.net and
@worldnet.att.net as the same address!!

The operation of this site puts me in mind of being invited to dinner and
having to suffer through a meal only a vulture would enjoy. Generally, when
something is free, it's not good enough to sell.
The list works OK, provided you never have to change anything, like your
email address, or your password, or need to access from more than one email
address. Then its profanity time.
I don't know if the sign on process yahole dreamed up is the product of
arrogance, paranoia or sheer stupidity. It is certain that they haven't
tried to use it themselves, else it would not be as it is. It's enough to
drive one to distraction. The most aggravating thing of all is the hour of
convolutions they put one through trying to find some way of contacting them
for help. They could come right out and admit they have meticulously
avoided providing any means to contact them. But then, we would not waste
time surfing around their catacombs and labyrinths looking for a contact
link while exposing ourselves to all of their offers to separate us from
money.
The whole thing could be solved at a stroke if they would publish a work
around for these common problems. Better yet, fix it. Problem is that
they make it a point not to communicate with the users so they probably
haven't a clue that the system has these easily avoidable, and needless
aggravations. The illogic is striking. They stopped 1% short of making
the thing an asset.

We are not alone. The Alfa Romeo 750-101 list is having the same trouble
with Yahoo. How many others are in the same mess?

Some of the boys on the MG SVW list also have had mucho problems with
Yahoo.....I've fortunately had none but I never try to change anything there.
What we need is a good hacker that could break into their system and fix it
with out them knowing about it!! Still I wish I had bought some stock in the
beginning!!
