#@$% Yahoo
Mar. 15th, 2007 10:55 pmSo. Just letting everyone know that Yahoo customer service never got back to me with an indvidual response to my problem. And it's been about two weeks. And I've read on a user forum that sometimes they just delete accounts with no warning or explanation; and once they're deleted, there is no way to get them back. So I'm assuming that's what happened to me. And it pisses me off to think of all the time I've spent organizing my mail folders, making sure I knew where everything was. I had a shitload of useful stuff in there. I just can't get my mind around the notion of it all having been wiped clean off the face of the earth. "Not fair" doesn't even begin to cover it.:(
On the other hand, I used to complain about having to spend a large portion of every evening sorting through my email. So there. Now the problem is utterly non-existant. I get NO email. No need to go through 50-100 messages daily, 95% of which I would delete anyway. It does feel kinda lonely... but since all the mailing lists I was a member of were Yahoo!Groups, I'm assuming I would have to create a new Yahoo ID in order to sign up for them again. And I'm really not sure about that. I don't WANT a new Yahoo ID. I liked the old one well enough. It's not my fault it has suddenly become non-existent. Besides, I really, really hate Yahoo right now. I don't want ANYTHING to do with them anymore. Luckily for me, the two Yahoo groups I actually cared about - L_A_S and Adult_Viggo - both have corresponding LJ communities. So I guess I'm just gonna keep watching those. I'm possibly missing out on some fun stuff this way, staying out of the loop etc.; but what does it really matter after a few years' worth of personal correspondence/saved fiction/interesting links and other treasures went down the drain?... Not much, I guess. *shrug*
Not that I suppose I would be really missed on the mailing lists; I was basically a lurker anyway. Just saying this here in case anyone who cares enough to read my LJ - and happens to be a member of the same Yahoo groups - should wonder why I'm gone. I just feel like Yahoo kicked me out on my ass, and I'm not gonna ask them nicely to take me back. Call me childish if you please, but I feel offended, and want to wallow in it for the time being. If I ever change my mind, I'll let you folks know.
That's it for tonight. *yawns and nods off*
