Hi Friends,

You all know me as russ2243. Today, I tried to buy myself a Flickr account and become a "pro" but Yahoo decided it no longer recognizes my ID name or password, so I suppose I will never be able to post any more photos under that name and I will never have a pro account.

January 30, 2009, 1800 hours EST: Yahoo has not resolved this issue. I guess I am permanently locked out of russ2243. I think I have some very interesting photos there and will bring most of them over here. There doesn't seem as if there is much more that I can do. Sorry for this mess.

January 31, 2009: This morning, I received an e-mail from Yahoo indicating that my russ2243 account is permanently frozen and that I no longer have access to it. This will be my new free account.
