Piotr can you talk to the guys at Yahoo and tell them that their
recent attempts to make a buck with these newsgroups have really
messed things up?

This is especially a problem when you want to cut-and-paste messages
in order to reply to more than one message at a time. First of all,
putting the ads in the message body made it impossible to copy an
entire message. I figured out that if you only pasted part of it at a
time, then you could get around this. But it still turned one very
simple motion into several inconvenient ones.

Now the new changes they just implemented have made it impossible for
me to cut-and-paste ANY message AT ALL! I've also figured out and
inconvenient work-around but its a real hassle. I can understand the
need to make money, but they shouldn't screw the customers in doing
so.

Since this is only a problem with the web site, I can just wait until
I get the digest but they aren't threaded. Besides, I've been waiting
all weekend to read your replies!
