Bill -- Have you been able to identify Yahoo's IP address yet? When 
you figure you the address that Yahoo uses for this elist, you will 
be getting close to the answer you are seeking.

Here in Montana, bears occasionally wander into town looking for 
food.  The first time a bear gets lost looking for food, it is not 
too serious.  The bear gets tagged and taken back to the 
wilderness.  The second time is more serious, because it shows the 
bear may be making a habit of wandering into a strange city.  The 
bear gets tagged and taken farther away from town.  The third time a 
bear gets lost in a big city, is really bad news.  It is considered 
a habitual offender and may tag him for destruction.

I'd hate to see you get too lost on these IP addresses; so, I am 
offering some humanitarian rescue effort to you.

Call Yahoo and get them to explain their server addresses.

Best regards,
Krsanna
