I feel that poking fun at any company's business is in extremely
disgusting taste. This was done once about Thoughtworks (the company I
work with) on this very mailing list.
I didn't see any apology then by the person who did that, nor do I see
any apology here by the person poking fun at Yahoo on this list.

Since then, I'm convinced that by and large, we all need to understand
better how to make bangpypers a safer place for discussions.
