Bloody Yahell, just get thinks sorted out so that the copyrighted works
we create are not able to be ripped apart easily by others then the
idiots there go and produce a "New Improved" Yahoo Mail for their Groups
which undoes all the copyright notice embedding that is used. You
thought Google Groups was bad, well Yahell have just taken a step down
from them. Bloody interfering idiots, making changes which are
fundamental to their system without trialling it properly with their
user base. They might very well have put a sign up saying "We are
determined that there should be no other email clients but these 2".

Oh god, what have they done now? Last time I checked their TOS were very
good about copyrights, but I know how quickly those things can change...

Some of the stuff we do has embedded copyright notice watermarks in it
as part of the structure of the document which under the old system
remained intact, with the new service this is no longer the case unless
the person receiving the group emails sets their preferences to classic
or some such. So embedded copyright notices can be removed from works
at the click of a button :-(

You have feet, right? Well, vote with them.

I could probably write an X[1], and am able to pick up a fair few
things with my toes.
elfin

I have very prehensile toes. I once used them to go cockling in France
without getting wet above the shins.
Some stories are best left half-told.
