Yahoo is worthless

Yes...back here again. The reason is below (posted to the WordPress Forum).

Forgive my venting...

I'm getting the infamous "Error establishing a database connection" with my Yahoo-based WP blog. I made no changes. Zip. Zero.

I called Yahoo TS, wandered through some phone menu choices, and was told to call somewhere else. (I could barely hear her because Yahoo uses voice over IP. (hellloooo, India :-))

OK, my bad. I called the wrong tech support. I tried again. I navigated through the menus and got a human who told me Yahoo does not support this third-party software.

This is the second time Yahoo TS has misbehaved for me. This first time happened when I asked them how to change domains and, following their advice, lost two months worth of work.

I must have been very bad in a former life. :-)
I gotta say this again: I changed nothing. I am about done with Yahoo services and need to find another host.
