Blocked From Here By Hackers

Yesterday when I tried to click into alt.support.schizophrenia
here I got the notice, "alt.support.schizophrenia doesn't exist". And,
then, I couldn't even get into MSN-WebTV's "Discuss". It would block me
off with the sign, "Technical Problems".
For years now I have been harassed & blocked by hackers in Yahoo.
Now THEY are messing with MSN.
Does anyone here know if the free Yahoo addresses given to access
Yahoo groups can be used to receive and read emails, send emails, and
use its files for a record?
Those things haven't worked on mine in years. But, I was able to
use a friend's computer, and I was able to do all those things in my
Yahoo address from my friend's computer. But not with my WebTV.

WebTV isn't the most advanced web browsing system based on what I know,
and it's quite possible that Yahoo has changed some Javascript or HTML
to use a feature that WebTV doesn't support.

WebTV is just one way of reaching Usenet/alt.support.schizophrenia.

They could have been rebuilding a database, so when you searched for
alt.support.schizophrenia before, and it didn't work, and later I assume
it did, that could explain it.

Based on what I know about Yahoo programs, they aren't perfect (what
software is perfect?). Their Yahoo messenger mismanages window regions
(it doesn't call InvalidateRect() with the proper area), so things don't
redraw properly sometimes. There are other problems too. It's quite
possible that the "Technical Problems" really are technical problems.

Why not send a message to Yahoo technical support? I did that once, and
they confirmed the problem I experienced. It's better than being
worried about some hackers harassing you.
