Does anyone still use Yahoo?

In March I think (March 2nd 1995) I first came across them as I think San Francisco Yahoo.

They started chat, this was good with some bad, but more good and then great gams ruined by cheats and especially ladders where people would sell their soul and cheat to get to rung one.

Then M$ offered them a huge buy out amount, I think five billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) they refused it, Yahoo got rid of chat, geocities (free websites) then games and no I think are worth two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000).

How the mighty have fallen.

To create an account now you have to by default enter a cell-phone number, I don't own a cell-phone or a number so I am shafted.

I wrote to Yahoo in Covent Garden, London, England asking tem about this, they refused to accept a recorded delivery letter, so I sent it back not recorded and they did not respond.

As far as I give a toss if they disappear from the internet I don't care as they don't care about their users.

So whence my question, ''Does anyone still use Yahoo?''
