Can someone please explain to me why, when you change your Yahoo! marketing preferences, you are required to please allow approximately ten (10) days for this change to take effect? “That’s the time it takes to fill in our marketing request form with a #2 pencil, and ship it ground from our web servers to the guy with the Teletype who enters it into our Offshore Marketing Database SAN.”

Note to Yahoo: please allow ten days for me to reconsider next time I think about purchasing one of your services.
