[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: [Pensieve] [Fwd: [H_PBDFA] Yahoo's charges]

This is actually not a hoax - at least the charging isn't - although I don't know about the petition. If you're just going to use your account via webview, it doesn't change anything for you *now*.

This looks like another hoax.  Sorry for forwarding it.  I hadn't been
able to find any proof but I had wondered if anyone else knew anything
about it.
