How does Yahoo's new rules on fans and contacts help?

I have two contacts and now I can no longer see their profiles. I myself do not allow fans because my profile is open to everyone. If I allow people to add me to their contact list, I cannot pick and choose. It's either allow all or block the people I don't want which seems rude to me. Does anyone have any wise suggestions?

    Is it 'all or nothing' now?

    I DO allow fans (if they don't email first to ask to be added, I don't add them as contacts), so I'm able to see both my fans' and contacts' profiles. I was not aware that if we disallowed fans, that would also prevent us from seeing contacts' profiles.

    Sorry, I guess I don't have any 'wise suggestions' ... but it's certainly an interesting question!
