Hey,

Hate to spame but umm...  I'm going to use that this is a good excuse clause... :o) Any who, a while back Yahoo started removing adult sites and adult advertising from its search engine.  CNBC covered this as a story.  Now some Christian groups have joined on the bandwagon and are demanding that Yahoo pull most of to all its adult content from Yahoo.  Yahoo has taken steps to respond to this demand by pulling more stuff and by shutting down the search feature for mailing lists so that people can't search for adult mailing lists.  Yahoo has also closed down some mailing lists on its server because of adult content.  One of them was a fan fiction mailing list for rape fan fiction (Which personally isn't my taste but *shrug* to each their own) and a few others.  As a result, we're um encouraging people to go to http://boycottyahoo.s5.com/ and to e-mail Yahoo and tell them you're opposed to those actions.

If you're thus inclined, please pass along the word?  Thanks.
