Re: Yahoo fix still in progress

I would add that I hope my emails have been taken in the spirit they 
were intended -- QUESTIONS about the situation, not criticism.  It is 
true I would like to find a faster way to address issues like this one, 
but I don't have a magical answer.  I definitely do appreciate all the 
gratis work on the part of all FIre developers and I have tried -- 
perhaps not hard enough -- to convey that clearly in my own emails.  
Perhaps all posters could make more of an effort to be sensitive in 
that area in the future.  I'm certainly willing to try.
