I closed my yahoo account back in 2002 after they started charging for POP access and never went back. At the time they said once I cancel that the user ID would never again be able to be used yet someone has taken it and has been using it I discovered recently. Since the ID was my first initial and last name and there is only one other living person who would share that first initial and last name and they are not using it (I have a very unique last name), then some spammer or other unscrupulous person has my ID and probably using it for nefarious purposes. Way to go Yahoo, kicking me is the ass after what, 7 years?
