Yahoo! is a corporation. I have had good interactions with entities which used the likes of Yahoo! and Hotmail.

You were entitled to spend money on those services, but I would not have wasted money like that.

I would much rather a recruiter who understands and values that competent engineers use Usenet than a LinkedIn spammer.
