This is not shaping up to be a very good month for Yahoo! all the way around -- at least PR-wise: http://techdirt.com/articles/20050907/0246214_F.shtml - ferg -- "Bob Arthurs" <[email protected]> wrote: Way OT, but very interesting- don't know if anyone saw this article about Yahoo collaborating with the Chinese government's police (from the BBC): http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4221538.stm If this is true, I for one will stop using Yahoo- I have spent alot of time in Asia myself, and I am very aware of the nature of the Chinese secret police. But if the article is true, I guess Yahoo doesn't care about the opinion of the regular consumer when they can curry favor with a repressive regime by informing on people. So, if you email friends in China from a Yahoo account, you have been warned! -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
