Last time I messed around with it, yahoo groups did have an audio
protection scheme.  You could click on a button to hear the word in the
box.   Unfortunately, I had a hell of a time convincing it I had typed in
what I heard.

I understand the logic, however it does make my life a bit more difficult.  I've filled out the form to be contacted by a yahoo employee to help in the subscription portion, but that was 1 week ago.  I guess I could send another form, but I fear that it may be falling on deaf ears.  My next step would be to ask someone sighted to read the image, but I shouldn't have to do that.  I've suggested that they use an audio protection scheme as well, but as previously stated, I have not had any response from them.  Anybody have a contact at Yahoo?
