Yahoo Creates an Instant Mess of Things

All of sudden one day my copy of Yahoo Instant Messenger out and out refused to connect me under my CrystalShiloh ID. I wasn't sure why it was happening because I had done nothing that could have caused it. Days and days went by and the situation didn't change. I waited until the days had turned into weeks and I wrote to the Yahoo Tech Support folks only after I tried everything that I could imagine might solve the problem on my own. I recieved a generic reply, stating that they were aware of the issue and they were working to resolve it. That was almost two weeks ago and I grew tired of waiting and so I created a new profile. I am now CrystalShiloh1, as far as Yahoo concerned. What really pisses me off is all the people in my contact list that I've now lost because of this sad situation. I can only hope that I can track them down or that they'll find me eventually. I also have the unpleasant possibility that this could happen again to worry about. Ugh.
