yahoo farted

a long long time ago in a land far far away, or maybe somewhere else, i created an account on yahoo dot com and within the first year the account was somehow corrupted and yahoo support (which is a very misused word) told me they could do nothing and the carefully thought up user name (aka ID, alias, handle, identity, and so on) could not be used because they refused to clear the account and free the user name for me to use (not very supportive of yahoo support, aye?)... the first user name was sharetruth...

so i took the time to carefully ponder and come up with another nearly perfect user name (ID, alias, handle, identity) and the same thing happened again... yes, corrupted account, not support from yahoo support... the second user name was childinside...

so i created a third user name without as much thought cuz the whole concept of personalizing a user name (ID, alias, handle, identity) and almost ten years later, after creating hundreds of yahoo groups (actually created long before yahoo bought the company, egoups, which bought the company where i first created the groups) and spending many seasons playing fantasy sports achieving a relatively meaningless, but nevertheless impressive record, and creating much more supposedly permanent pages, additional aliases, an email address, and more, after almost ten years of devoting way too much time online to trusting yahoo, it happened again... that was more than a year ago... i have not been back to yahoo since... the third user name was yawhofarted...

i wasn't going to give yahoo a chance to fart on me again...
