You might want to lobby for unblocking biz.yahoo.com since that's the 
financial news section of Yahoo!, and they do have unique content from 
time to time (though not on this occasion).  Better yet, if the "powers 
that be" are going to put in any "blocks" (ahem), then it'd be a good idea 
to be more selective (e.g. mail.yahoo.com only if that's their intent). 
The biz.yahoo.com pages will have not only information on GEICO but also 
news and stories -- sometimes unique news and stories -- about your 
competitors, suppliers, and customers.  In other words, I can't figure out 
any business reason for blocking access to that information -- quite the 
contrary.  Heck, it says "biz" in the URL. :-)
