Thanks. I tried that. The problem, as I suspected, is that "joining" in
effect makes one a member of Yahoo and explicitly subjects one to various
"Terms of Service," including these:

>You also understand and agree that the Service may include advertisements
and that these advertisements are necessary for Yahoo to provide the
Service. You also understand and agree that the service may include
certain communications from Yahoo!, such as service announcements,
administrative messages and the Yahoo! Newsletter, and that these
communications are considered part of Yahoo! membership and you will not
be able to opt out of receiving them.<

Your list will probably serve some people well; personally, I am not
interested in being a member of Yahoo.
