RTP-area local music and culture

From what I've been told, Yahoo (based on "user complaints" supposedly) 
is intermittently blocking the entire block of IP addresses used by UNC 
& various other academic institutions in central NC.

You can decide for yourself whether this "protective" action has been a 
net positive or negative for you ;-)

I'm not one to advocate a wholesale migration to Google, but it does 
currently appear that gmail users aren't having the same problem, 
presumably because gmail's spam-filtering is different in how it's 
implemented.
