yahoo help .....
Jul 3, 2010 2:14PM PDT

i keep getting a "secret question" on yahoo help which i never had to answer before (and which i don't know the answer to), so it tells me i give the wrong answer to the "secret question"; in other words, yahoo help is no help at all since i can't get past this; when i tried to sign in to yahoo recently, a strange yahoo id was in the sign-in box (i didn't write it down)
