I disagree. I do not hate Yahoo. I admire them.

Customer support costs money, and it costs a LOT of money to do well. That they can give you any at all for a free to you service, for an advertiser supported service, and still make money is nothing short of miraculous, and therefore admirable.

But I suspect you are not alone in complaining about something that’s free (except for the time you spend reading ads).

XFUT o-t.debate as this is not really a geek question or observation, in my view, it’s a debatable point, and you are asking for debate on it.
