Does everybuddy allow you to communicate with a yahoo user even if you don't have a Yahoo id? I have not used them.

They specifically say that it allows you to communicate even if you don't have an account.

This is a serious problem. Few days back there was a report in TOI saying that Larry Elisson made a speech at Yale university about the futility of university degrees. A quick search in google will reveal that this was a hoax. At present, "Letters to the editor" seems to be the only way to educate the media.
