[JDEV] yahoo issues anyone?

[David 'TheRaven' Chisnall]

Perhaps I should have qualified the last post with 'Your milage may 
vary', but I stand by what I said.  Y! is still a small network next to 
MSN and AIM, and can't hope to compete without either a killer 
application, or allowing interoperability.  Embracing Jabber might give 
them the commercial edge they need.  Instead, they try to block it.  Was 
common sense outlawed while I wasn't looking?
