Well, gottinhimmelhoch, I actually got an answer from YAHOO! Yes, I
am more surprised than you are!.. ! !

The tone of the answer is a little "testy" meaning, like, "dummy, we
never owned your content or even THOUGHT about owning it" so,
personally, I believe we are not at all in danger!

Here is the message from the Yahoo! "copyright infringement" guys
that I received today!
