Another business screw up

The next time someone bashes government and problems signing up for the Affordable Care Act, take note that business can screw up "better." From TechCrunch.com, "Yahoo Mail has been experiencing a major bug, following its revamp earlier this week.
According to a number of reports, the service has been automatically forwarding emails to users’ “alternate,” external email addresses – a setting that was switched on without users’ permission. Yahoo has replied to some help requests via its Twitter account @YahooCare, but it hasn’t replied to help requests on its UserVoice forum, nor has its Customer Care site offered a solution to this problem."
