Ahhhhh....Yahoo has succumbed to the most conservative of standards and wont even allow adult designations in profiles and for adults who act like adults to form a segregated community. This heightens the need for a peer-to-peer profile system where information is exchanged directly between people who converse and either actively ask for the form information or freely give it out to people who request to see it.
Yahoo is succumbing Extraverted Feeling devoid of Introverted Feeling. Community standards over individual standards. The internet is an Introverted technology, and there are plenty of ways to enable it that way, but like the rest of the Web 2.0 community, they're Extraverting where they should be Introverting.
