Yahoo!?

I haven't had a reason to use my Yahoo identity for a long time. I no longer use the messenger (or any messenger for that matter). I don't have a website through them like I used to (several in fact). They started getting sloppy with the services so I stopped paying for websites I wasn't getting the right benefits for. I used to belong to a bunch of groups though, and while those are no longer interesting to me, I have new interests I'd like to join groups for. So I had to go and try to reactivate my identity on there. It is moving really slow though. It was supposed to send an email to my address, but hasn't so far. I'm trying to decide if I should open a new account, or just say the heck with it if I don't get one for the existing address.
