Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Yahoo problems

John,
The new signup is tricking everbody into creating a new username, etc.
When you try to use your old one, of course, you will be told it's already
in use, because it's you! This proves that you are still in the system.
The new username is the same as the old except you drop the address part.
WAS: joeblow@... IS now: joeblow
The password is the same as before.
All your old setup and groups are there waiting for you.
That's all folks :-)
