Yahoo affords some decentralized actions among our community which my site or
an lchc site does not, and this is good for a time. Agreed, the collective id
is known, but with yahoo moderators and redundant backups this is not a
significant problem for attack by crackers. Hackers btw, are generally not
known within their communities for malicious behavior, but "crackers" are.
This is one of the differences between language of those on the periphery and
those within the community.
