Wearing my academic IT hat for a moment, a Real Person! (tm) appeared on
the HIED-EMAILADMIN list (hosted by nd.edu) earlier today, in answer to
a lot of talk about how bad things have got with Yahoo recently.

Out of politeness (since his email was obviously aimed at the list
membership, which isn't NANOG) I have asked if he minds my forwarding it
to other lists (well, I started with the mailop at mailop.org list, but
I'll work from there).

His title, not giving too much away, is:

Anti-Abuse Product Manager
Yahoo! Mail

And you may, or may not, find his details in the list archives of the
first list I mentioned above.

I hope someone finds my not mentioning this fruitful :)
