That's not necessarily a bad thing. If Yahoo is a stalking horse for 
GooHotMess, the Yahoo execs may be looking to see how many email admins 
knuckle under and feed their fantasy of total control. It might be 
worthwhile to ask BLU members whom use YaGooHot to push back complaints 
to their ISPs, so as to forestall the "walled garden" plans of the 
advertiser-supported email providers.

FWIW. YMMV. HTH.
