Some people I know who administer mailinglists say that "we deliberately do=
n't tell =

about email subscription. We even sometimes shut that opportunity off.". I =
don't rightly =

remember why they did that, but I think they thought it was to troublesome =
for them... So =

it is theoretically possible that Yahoo really does not want people to subs=
cribe by =

email, and that they want us to believe that we have to sign up as a member=
 of yahoo.
