a) I don't know anyone who uses Y!
b) No one who uses my server has told me (and I have asked quite a few) that they know anyone who uses Y!
An IM network only survives because people can use it to talk to their friends. Since Y! has sucha a small user base, the only way they can compete is by interoperability. This makes no sense. Still, I suppose if they had sense, they'd be using Jabber :)

My understanding was that Y! changed their authentication protocol in such
a way that yahoo-t (and other unauthorized software) would fail, but that
was some time ago and the yahoo-t maintainers seem to have gotten around
the problem. Perhaps Y! has changed things again because we know that they
do *not* want unauthorized software connecting to their system (we were
told on this list that there was an explicit internal company decision to
become less open rather than more open).
