Verizon bought Yahoo in 2017. They sold off portions of it but couldn't
find a buyer for Groups. As we all know Groups was quite buggy probably
due to ad hoc spaghetti coding. They appeared after they initially
couldn't find a buyer spiffied it up but that still didn't help.
I liked Earl Kaplan's alleged experience with visiting India where he
learned enlightenment wasn't such a big deal. That's something I also
learned on my visit there. The TMO seemed to just kept raising the
carrot to get more money.
