A fate worse than death. I am a long time Yahoo user and email account holder. The thought of the Daily Mail tabloid having unfettered access to my private information fills me with horror.

Horrifying! My primary email account is also with Yahoo. I really hope this doesn't go through.

Horror enough to switch to www.fastmail.com ?

Yes, horrifying enough to switch to something else (perhaps fastmail). I would also delete all my data from Yahoo. Unfortunately I doubt that deleting it through the UI would guarantee physical removal from their servers.

--EDIT-- upon further consideration, I am just going to switch to something else ASAP. Hoping that Yahoo gets picked up by a responsible party is a risk I am no longer willing to take.
