Have you had someone add you as a contact lately?
Did you notice the new Yahoo "Get a New Contact" standard? Bear with me, you soon will:
Part of the new notice:
You can see all of (new contact's) Contacts here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/my/contacts(not the real URL)
So, check 'em out!
Only one problem, when you check your new contact's contacts out, you find out her network is private. You can't see any of her contacts, you can't see any of her questions, you can't see any of her answers, for all you know, she is Osama Bin Ladin in drag.
So. The person who ignored this:
Don't add me as a contract unless you know me, email for permission if we have mutual contacts.
This person wants to be your contact. And Yahoo thinks that denying you any info whatsoever about this person is the proper way to gain trust. Smooth move Yahoo.
What rocket scientist thought of this new contact policy? Guess what, I am "The master of my Digital Universe", as they keep telling me.
I will have no part of a system like that, contact denied.

Oh it is bloody endless, I must have had at least fifty today, it's freaking annoying I will end up deleting something important as I angrily click off all the crap.
They are coming in as I type this, I have switched everything to private what more can I do?
That link says Oops
We are sorry, the URL you have entered cannot be displayed probably because:
* The system is busy now. Please click on "Reload" button or try later.
* The URL you entered is incorrect. Please check the URL you have entered.
* This URL does not exist any longer. Please click on other URLs.
Sorry I totally misread the question, hahaha.

Yes. This has happened to me too!
But then, I don't think it's Yahoo to be blamed!!!
Maybe someone, not familiar with the new Yahoo rules, thought he/she could view my 'private' Q/As just by being my fan! It used to be so in the past! But since things have changed now, the person changed his mind and decided to cool him/herself, lol.
Learn to be more trustful of Y!As ;))

Yes, this sounds like something Yahoo would do. Everything they've done recently runs the course of stupidity.

No I haven't luv. But then again, only people with questionable personal hygiene practices and sex starved individuals seem to connect with me anyhow.
What?

What's with the link that says not the real link?
You've managed to confuse me and I love you for that.
Marry me?

If I can't see their Qs.+ Ans., if I can't see their contacts, I deny addition.
