yahoos performance?

at the risk of being ruined by the yahoo people I will ask this questionbecause after fifteen years of using yahoo and only yahoo for email etc. I have the distinct feeling that something is wrong with everything connected to yahoo and it is very disturbing. what I need to know before elaborating is this ...are there any other yahoo people who feel the same way because if I stand alone with this I am wrong and will not continue with my complaints. thank you and remember always that I love and respect the other members of the yahoo people and always have.
