Iggy here:

Here's a fun one for everyone...  I e-mailed Yahoo that a threat was
made about a list I am on (and didn't name the names, BTW.)... I got a
form letter in reply that an investigation would be made by the Yahoo
admin.  They wouldn't be able to tell me what action would be made, but
they would definitely look into it.

Here's the fun stuff:

1 - How can they investigate a claim if I didn't give them any group
names or addresses?

2 - You've gotta love that they sent out a form letter.

3 - On the good side, if they shut the groups down for some reason, I
have archived proof that they informed me that they would do a full
investigation.  Even a form letter sent from an official standpoint is
binding.  If they do shut the groups down, and cannot prove that they
actually performed the investigation they said they would (and provide
ample proof of violation of the terms of usage) then they are in breach
of contract.  *grin*  (Can you say "class action lawsuit?"  *laugh*)
